YOUNG people involved in North Berwick community groups have came together to create a painted poppy pebble display in time for Remembrance Sunday.  

Organised by Bass Rock Community Group, more than 300 people from clubs, societies and schools have painted and decorated pebbles which will be on display for the whole of November.

The display, 450 pebbles in all, is currently outside the Abbey Church on High Street.

All the pebbles will be returned to the sea after the display is dismantled.

Richard Rogers, of Bass Rock Community Group, said: “It is wonderful to see the array of groups wanting to get involved in this project – schoolchildren and students, young people of churches and other young people’s groups, in addition to the senior citizens at the North Berwick Community Connections Scone Café – all wanting to be involved in painting pebbles in remembrance of the fallen in our wars.

"You can see a variety of colours which capture the eye to make you stop and think – it really is worth a look. The message, though, is consistent across all the generations: ‘Lest we forget.’

"Once again, we are very grateful to David Graham, minister of Abbey Church, for allowing the display to be placed outside the church.

"When the display is dismantled, the pebbles will be returned to the sea, carrying their messages with them.”
