Weekend Walk - along the seashore to see eagle rock

in We Are Alive Tribelast year

My wife and I made it out for a lovely walk on saturday morning. It was still quite cold in Edinburgh, but it was a stunning blue skies morning.

We tookk a walk down through the Dalmeny Estate towards the shore on the Firth of Forth. There were quite a few out doing the same and we passed quite a few people on the walk.

The path we took goes through the farm land of the estate - and it was really pretty in the morning sunshine.

Its a little hard to make out but we spotted a lone goose in one field. Quite a big chap indeed - right in the middle of the pic.

We took the path down onto the shore - with the view above looking back in the direction of Edinburgh (we were just on the outskirts). I love how the clouds looked - quite pretty.

I spotted this old pulley, from a ship I guess, in the sand just on the shoreline.

And then saw that something appeared to be on fire a bit further along the shoreline. Quite a lot of black smoke was billowing up around 3-4 miles away from where we were. It looked like it was over in the Granton area of the city. I hope no one was hurt.

From there we walked along to eagle rock - which I just love. Its really hard to make out but it is thought that the carving you can see if of an eagle. It is believed to have been carved by Romans around 1800 years ago when they had a fort near here. I love seeing it - to imagine whose hands made that, all those years ago - how cool !

And the cloud formation above the eagle was pretty cool at the time !

From there we turned around to head back to the car park. The forest floor where we turned was covered in young shoots of wild-garlic (the green you can see in the pic above). You could really smell it - it was really nice !

Our walk was around 3 miles in total, which was nice - we usually go for longer, but for some reason we were both quite tired, so it turned out to be long enough !

We enjoyed the walk, and then went out for dinner in the city later that evening, along with our daughter - it was lovely to have a nice family day together.

All the best form Scotland !

Such a gorgeous walk @hoosie! This area is very beautiful indeed, especially on such a sunny day! Growing up in SE rural New Jersey green onions like that were common in the forests around where I lived. I always loved nibbling on them! Thanks for sharing another lovely adventure! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

What a pleasant environment and what a awesome walk. The pics itself tell the story. Nothing better then spending time with family on such a perfect day.
Thanks for sharing
