Is that lighthouse visible form Tantallon Castle - I ask because I have a few images from there and there is a lighthouse just barely visible in the shots, but it's name escapes me and I haven't done a detailed map search to find out. I'm thinking Tantallon is rather far north from there, and a bit around the bend into the Forth of Firth, but maybe my memory fails as I age . . . As to whether Lancashire is more or less beautiful than Yorkshire - well - I'll not get into a War of the Roses again - the first was bad enough. I'd live in either place in a heart beat, but then I'd probably start driving back up to Scotland again - Loch Lomond has my heart, as does Stirling, and points north and west. Frankly, the only place I don't want to be over there is stuck in traffic on the north bound M-5 in Birmingham (again)! If'n you find more, please post them - this one was nice.
