On the yellow sand of Embleton Bay near the sand dunes is a large grey rock called 'Bathing Rock'. A little to the northwest of this is the famous 'Vanishing Rock' on which the name 'Andra Barton' is carved. Barton was a Scottish pirate, killed in a sea battle with the English in 1511.

Interesting, your comment about 'Vanishing Rock'. Folkore is a big draw in tourism, eg Cornish pirates, smugglers etc. I became interested in Northumberland via interest in Vikings, though I've yet to visit, and historical stuff I read with an Open University course. Ambivalent picture, charming child beach scene, ominous clouds, shooting in B+W heightens the effect. Unusual
