I live in Gullane in East Lothian, near Aberlady.
The book I'd like to nominate is Nigel Tranter's Footbridge to Enchantment. This is a non fiction account: the personal anecdotes and reminiscences of the author round the shores of Aberlady Bay, where he did his daily walking and writing. Chapters include: "Two Paths to Enchantment", "Flotsam and Jetsam", "Boundless Dune Country", "The Belligerent Swan", "Puzzles of the Tide's Edge", "A Canine Optimist", "In Search of Jovey Gray", "Flights of Freedom", and "Threats of Flooding".
When I was a teenager, he spoke about his work at a meeting of my youth group, and I've been hooked ever since!
