View of North Berwick Harbour with Berwick Law visible in the distance, East Lothian, Scotland.
The harbour was built around 1150 and in those early days there were ferry services to Earlsferry near Elie in Fife, with up to 10,000 pilgrims passing through the port every year.
A hospital for poor people and pilgrims was founded at North Berwick before 1154 by Duncan, Fourth Earl of Fife. The land of the hospital was confirmed to North Berwick priory by Malcolm, Earl of Fife, before 1199 and by William I about 1213. The most probable site was that now occupied by the granaries on the east side of the roadway, because it was near the harbour where the pilgrims landed and embarked.

Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
