Photo by @MichaelGeorge The harried modern world slips away as soon as you cross over to the breathtaking coastline of St. Abb's Head National Nature Reserve. Its landscape is visual poetry, as the cliffs themselves are the result of volcanic activity from tectonic plates crashing into one another. Throughout the year, wildlife ranging from gray seals to kittiwakes call this area home and utilize these natural features to raise their young. I walked to an outlook, with the sea many feet below, and imagined these hillsides in spring, when it is said they are covered in an assortment of colorful native wildflowers. While hiking along the soaring heights of the bluffs, you might even spot a dolphin or a whale. Just be sure to bring your binoculars!
