Picture
Caption: THE Cabin In the woods of East Lothian, Seacliff beach, you will find this sanctuary of a cabin, aptly named “The Secret Cabin”. I was invited by @canapyandstars to stay here for couple nights.
Picture
Caption: The art of forest bathing is the art of connecting with nature through our senses. All we have to do is accept the invitation.
Picture
Caption: THE ROOM Inside the cabin the furniture is made up of wood washed up on the beach after beast from the east hurricane and from the surrounding woodlands.
Picture
Caption: Deep in the WOODS If you happen to get lost in the woods you might come across the remains of the Seacliff House. It burned down in 1907 and stood a ruin ever since.
Picture
Caption: THE LOCATION The cabin leads to the private hidden beach - Seacliff beach - with breathtaking views over the Bass rock and the majestic Tantallon castle.
Picture
Caption: There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
Lord Byron

Caption: We enjoyed a relaxing walk during sunset.
Caption: Two surprises await at this end of the beach. The first is the "end on" view of Tantallon Castle that emerged from behind the headland. The second is an incredible harbour that has been carved out of the rocks of a feature known as the Gegan. This was constructed in 1890 by Andrew Laidley, the then laird, who used a steam engine and compressed air to cut the stone. Even with the technology of the day, this must have been a daunting project. It has been claimed that the harbour is Scotland's smallest.
