The herring road is a historic route that was used to transport herring from Dunbar to Lauder.

A friend and I set off from a sunny Dunbar harbour, where we walked along farm roads until we reached the hills. We camped a little while after Whiteadder Reservoir by a river.

A little grassy spot next to a stream for us to pitch and sit whilst we get some dinner in before bed.
