Throwback Thursday… Seacliff Beach, East Lothian

Seacliff Beach and Auldhame Castle, August 2020
Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 18-135mm f3.5~5.6 R LM OIS WR at 39mm, 1/210s, f11, ISO 200
What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
Four years ago it was Seacliff Beach and Auldhame Castle in East Lothian.
Auldhame Castle dates from the 16th century and although now a ruin it is still an impressive structure overlooking the Firth of Forth. Not much is known about Auldhame’s history, it is somewhat overshadowed by its near neighbour Tantallon Castle.
