Rob.
Just a little to the South of Lindisfarne are the Farne Islands - famous for their Puffins.
Andrzej, posted this over on the Aerodrome.
Shall we do more harbours and sea ports, or take a break and see how much Nelsonian drinks we can find?
Rob.
Meanwhile, here is one to tide us over.
Rob.
On the Northumbrian coast is Bamburgh castle.
Today's offering is.
Rob.
Just South of the Scottish border is Berwick upon Tweed.
A very important port indeed Dave.
A lot of invasions of Scotland kicked off there.
Rob.
Two harbours for the price of one today.
Both on the Isle of Man.
Rob.
Continuing to move North brings us to Dunbar.
Here are a couple from St. Ives.
Rob.
Next we visit Edinburgh.
Two birds with one stone today.
St Michael's Mount with a bit ofor the Pirates amongst you shipmates.
Rob.
Next there is Kirkcaldy.
We'll drink that in honour of your birthday then Dave.
Many happy returns.
Rob.
The last ale from me until Friday.
Rob.
Thank you for your good wishes, Rob.
We cannot omit St Andrerws - the home of golf. Not that I play but I have relatives, who do.
When I started searching for ale from Dundee I thought that I had found lots until I saw that it was the Dundee Brewery in New York. However, I did find one.
Here is something softer.
Great, and with connections to my absence of leave Dave, which I will explain tomorrow if I get time.
I was not a stones throw away from Turnberry for the last three days.
Rob.
Although not strictly a seaport, Culzean castle where we stayed is on the coast and does overlook the Firth of Clyde, and therefore protects the seaport.
I just could not resist adding this one.
Rob.
Today's brew is........
Rob.
Off the Scottish coast is the Bell Rock lighthouse.
Another infamous one.
Rob.
I also just came across this one.
Rob.
Heading back to the Scottish coast there is another town famous for golf - Carnoustie.
One last ale with a connection to Lighthouses.
Rob.
Since you have been covering lighthouses, Rob, I thought that I would try to give lightships a mention but I could only find one ale. It is named after the lightship in Boston U.S.A..
Good one Dave.
I could not find much more on Lighthouses around GB myself.
Rob.
Just come across this one.
and this.
Rob.
Continuing up the Scottish coast, the next port is Arbroath.
It is a pity that the ale commemorating the Stone of Arbroath is made in the U.S.A..
These soft drinks are made in Arbroath.
One for today. A port and a Lighthouse combined.
Rob.
Aberdeen is the next port. It seems to be a good place for tasting whiskies.
Chatham Dockyard today.
Rob.
After all that whisky, something less strong from the port of Peterhead.
I do like that stoneware bottle Dave.
I could use that for enactments if it did not have the writing on it.
Rob.
Another Cornish favourite today.
Rob.
The next Scottish port is Fraserburgh. Ginger beer is (or was) made there also.
However the same brewer used to make stronger stuff.
However there is still an independent brewery in Fraserburgh with some unusually named beers.
I wonder what Tactical Nuclear Penguin tastes like?

Monty Python.
Those two last were in the highest-percent-alcohol-competition. They were in the 40%+ range if I remember correctly.
Now we're talking Jonas. 40% is getting there.
Any more nautical brews from your neck of the woods.
It seems to be just myself and Dave holding the fort at present.
Rob.
Round the corner to Wales for me today.
Rob.
In Lossiemouth they brew up a storm. :) Although technically those beers are named after the R.A.F. aircraft, which are named after storms.
Another reminder of the past.
My father was stationed there for a short time during the War.
Rob.
Could not find anything yesterday Dave, but here is one for today.
Rob.
It's been a long time since I found any and there's already been repeats so I'm just enjoying reading the thread instead.Any more nautical brews from your neck of the woods.
I think we must be running out at last, and I'm starting to forget which ones we have done.
Dave is remarkable at pulling them out of the woodwork.
Rob.
Black Isle is a peninsular near Inverness.
Whereas this Inverness ale is brewed in the U.S.A..
I have started a list of what we have done but with such a long thread it will take time.
I will have to go a bit further afield today.
Rob.
Staying in Scotland we visit a port famous from the shipping forecast.
