She stands on the cliff edge looking down over the wall of smooth rock beaten by the ocean for millions of years.

Isla Macbeth was born and raised in St Abbs until the age of 15 when she moved across the Atlantic to the great American Midwest.

Isla just laughs to her self, soon she's crying from the laughter. So loud was her laughing, she never heard the being behind her.
