From St John's Parish Church, follow the road north where,
after a kilometer or so, a sign diverts you to Hackleton's Cliff.
This steep 300-metre limestone escarpment marks the edge of the
Scotland district to the west and, to the east, the rugged east
coast whose limestone cap was eroded by sea action many centuries
ago.
At
the end of a short track, you can park right by the edge of the
cliff for fabulous views across the craggy hills of Scotland,
nostalgically named by early settlers for its supposed resemblance
to the land of Robert Burns, and up the sandy northeast coastline.
