Coldingham Bay
Un peu plus bas sur la côte Est que Pease Bay, à deux pas de la frontière Anglaise, se trouve une autre baie féérique et sauvage.
A little bit further on the East Coast than Pease Bay, near the English border, is located another fairy like and wild bay.

Le soleil bas des courtes journees d'hiver illumine d'une lueur orangee la cote au relief torture
The rising sun of the short winter days throws many orange lights on this chaotic shaped coast

Dand une crique voisine, les vagues explosent sur les rochers saillants.
In a next creek, the waves are smashing on the sharped rocks.
Coldingham Bay est connue pour etre un lieu geologiquement tres interessant. En effet, a l'Est se trouve le fameux "siccar point", point de jonction du plateau continental Nord-Americain avec le plateau continental Europeen. Cette rencontre fut un bouleversement du relief, qui est a l'origine des montagnes Ecossaises.
