Don't Deny Access to our Local Treasure

Having walked up to the lookout for 40 years, first with my parents and now with visiting friends, relatives and my own children, each and every time we are in awe of the beautiful area we live in, a gift given by the different vantage points this lookout offers.

Many afternoons have been spent in the shade of the big old rubber fig tree listening to the birds. The walk around the gardens are calming and give a sense of contentment and respite from an Industrialised world.

Not only is this magnificent lookout a treasure and an asset for the area, it is also steeped in history with its stone-walled gunner bays facing seaward. From an economic standpoint, the lookout enriches the experience of tourists who then talk about it to their friends and so on.

To close this lookout is to deny the public the pleasure of appreciation of this special place we live in.

It is the absolute best place to be at sunset. Instead of looking out over the Tweed, turn around to look toward the hinterland and the absolute best sunsets you can find anywhere. I used to do this at least weekly on my runs. I can't wait to take a camera up there again to capture some of them.
