Not many miles to the south of Eyemouth lies the Holy Island of  Lindisfarne.  It became a centre of christianity after the founding of the monastery by St Aiden and by its association with St Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne and worker of miracles. Way marker poles define the route of the Pilgrims Way across the island.

Twice daily, the island is cut off from the mainland and signs warn modern day pilgrims to be aware of the tides.  Yet still a few try to run the gauntlet with the sea and find themselves stranded on the causeway. Short of a miracle, these refuges provide a safe haven until the tides turn.
