Zoe - Cockleburn Beach
Nice shot. Nice girl. Nice beach?
Er.No. THe wider Huttonian family and three members of it-all Flickr Slickrs have inadvertently invented Cockleburn Beach. Yes of course-know it well: 8 miles south of Ber Wick Erpon Tweed? Actually that is Cocklawburn. Sounds much the same when spoken through a mouthful of beer or a £2.50 cornet with a Cadbury Flake.
Sorry Northumberland Tourist Board. Sorry to those 1000s of trippers who have come from as far away as Alynwick, Belford and Duns in search of this top beach destination. You won't find it under that name.
Go to Flickr and enter Cocklawburn in the search engine. Nice beach to be sure. But not as nice
as ours.
