Embleton Bay

A little trout stream, known as the Embleton Burn, begins in the inland moors, makes its way through an area of the old barony, woody denes, and channels, before reaching the centre of the bay.

There is good holding ground, with Heifer Bank Tower and trees in line with Dunstanstead, at a bearing of 232°; and Beadnell Church Spire, open to the east of Newton Point, at a bearing of 335°.

[5] In the 1830s, a sandstone rock was discovered near the low tide mark on the Embleton sea shore.

[6] "Andra", or Sir "Andrew" Barton, a Scottish sea captain and "fearless freebooter",[7] was a mariner in James IV, King of Scots' navy.

[3] Some of the bay's cliffs are a seabird site frequented by breeding eider ducks, fulmars, kittiwake, and shags.
