A stone stacking championship which has seen competitors from as far afield as South Africa and Australia is taking place in East Lothian this weekend.
For those looking to venture out of Edinburgh for something to do, look no further than the European Stone Stacking Championship on Dunbar beach.
Back for a fourth time at the popular East Lothian beach (which attracts thousands of people to the town ), stone stacking enthusiasts of all ages are invited to join in on the fun and also watch the professionals in action.
Stone stacking is a growing global movement - it takes materials found in nature and works with Earth’s gravity to create sculptural towers, archways and other awe-inspiring structures from rocks and stones, requiring patience, concentration and focus, hand-eye coordination (we're doomed) and a steady hand.
This special weekend will see professional and amateur competitions taking place between 12pm and 4pm this Saturday and Sunday, including stacking against the clock and highest stone stacking sculpture.
The event takes place on Eye Cave Beach, just below Bayswell Road in Dunbar. For more information, including the schedule of events and safety precautions, visit the Championships website here.
