ALT Today's 'Where in Scotland' image. It is a squarish image showing a view over fields to a settlement of one or two-storey dwellings, mainly finished in white. A road comes in the right edge of the frame and continues across part of the middle. There is a visible edge across the middle of the frame with, beyond it, a distant dark hillside climbing to the horizon. The scene is in sunlight.

Beyond the beach is a grey rock headland that cuts across the frame. The sky is blue. The front cover of ‘A Tangled Web’ is shown in the top right corner.
The magical little harbour at Cove near Cockburnspath in the Scottish Borders, one of the hidden gems of south-east Scotland. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/c…

There are two-storey buildings both sides of the frame in stone, with a white building downhill from the cross in the background. The sky is blue.
