Sinopsis
Excerpt from East Lothian
Down by the sea are dotted little towns and villages, in some cases continuous, in others separated by wide stretches of sandy links. Most of the male inhabitants are engaged in fishing, though in the west round Preston pans the coal mines claim their servants. The golf courses of the north-east are second in fame only to that of St Andrews. The burghers of trim North Berwick are as used to visitors of royal and exalted blood as are the citizens of the most favoured of capitals. During the summer months North Berwick and its neighbours are mere suburbs of Edinburgh.
Through the heart of the county meanders the Tyne, famed as a trouting stream. It is emphatically the river of East Lothian, and on its banks and on those of its upland tributaries are many Spots celebrated in history and tradition. Ordinarily a placid stream, the sudden melting of the snows or a cloud-burst in the Lammer muirs now and again causes a flood by which the old folks keep their calendar.
