Was such a fascinating and moving experience for me to see this spot a couple years ago. The bagpipe players' music sent shivers down my spine, not of fear, but more something undefinable--of such glorious sadness, almost. Reminds me of a Frost poem: "I dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago, And left no trace but the cellar walls, And a cellar in which the daylight falls, And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow.... "

Wonderful to see this old old photo and, as macieklew shows us, it has not changed. You can climb the tower on the right of the photo and see views of the castle (also ruined), the town, beach and golf course.

I'm assuming the photographer is the same Roger Fenton who served as the photographer during the Crimean War, and took the famous photograph near the location of the Charge of the Light Brigade.

One of my favorite spots on the planet. My wife and I were married in Melrose and said our final vows here.
