North Sea At North Berwick

The wild north sea spins the coast into a frenzy of sea spray and wicked waves with an ocean scene that would leave even the heartiest sailor with second thoughts. It's better to stand safely on shore and enjoy the great power and majesty of the mighty blue expanse lest you be sucked out into open water where the only thing you will see is the bottom of the ocean. Be satisfied that you are smart enough to know your place in the grand scheme of things, especially when it comes to this bold body of water. The Royal Burgh of North Berwick is a seaside town in East Lothian, Scotland. The name North Berwick means North 'barley farmstead'. Bere in Old English means 'barley' and wic in Old English is 'farmstead'. The word North was applied to distinguish this Berwick from Berwick-upon-Tweed, which throughout the Middle Ages the Scots called South Berwick. It was recorded as Northberwyk in 1250. On the south of Berwick there is evidence of at least eighteen hut circles, rich middens and a field system dating from 2000 years ago.
