One of our website users, Robert Watson, visited the sands recently and had a try at the dunes where Jock Wallace famously trained Rangers teams.
Yes, he reports they may look pretty but are exhausting after even a leisurely saunter up them!
(Robert is the author of several books on the Covenanting period and will have a new one out shortly concerning the Rev John Livingston who suffer persecution that meant he had to move from Scotland to Ulster and eventually to exile in Rotterdam)
