St Combs Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Bailiff's Skelly This is another awkward square to geograph, though it's not hard to get to. The only land is a few square metres of rocky foreshore which is exposed only at low tide. Low tide today is well after dark, and when I visited it late this afternoon only a couple of rocks were above the water - only just enough for this image. It was a great relief when the GPS showed that I was standing on the very corner of the square! The rock called Bailiff's Skelly is actually still submerged.
