Annual picinic at Yellowcraigs

There was always such excitement as we piled onto the coaches for our annual Junior School picinic to Yellowcraigs in East Lothian. More ofter than not the weather wasn't great but this never dampened our spirits. 

Games on the sand, paddles in the sea, packed lunches in the dunes and loud sing songs on the way home all made for a fantastic day out.

Think this was in the early 70's
