North Berwick harbour severely damaged by huge waves
The Harbour wall at North Berwick has been " severely damaged" by huge waves in sea surges over the weekend.
North Berwick Harbour Trust said the 400-year-old stone structure had been breached on Sunday by sea swells leaving a five-metre wide (16ft) gap.
The walkway partially collapsed in a further breach at High Tide at 03:00 on Monday.
No One was hurt and boats were moved on Sunday afternoon day to avoid damage overnight.
The Harbour is leased from East Lothian Council and managed by the volunteer-run North Berwick Harbour Trust charity, which maintains and conserves The Site .
The Charity said it was looking for emergency funding and support to help restore the Harbour wall.
Andrew Duns, The Charity 's treasurer, said The Council would be sending structural engineers to inspect the damage but they were confident That the Harbour could be repaired.
" The Harbour directly employs about 35 people, but is also one of the biggest tourist attractions in East Lothian, " He Said .
" The Breach happened on the historic part of the Harbour - That bit is the original part of The Sea defence That 's about 400 years old.
" We expect this afternoon at High Tide for some more damage to come and maybe some more overnight. "
A team of volunteers had only recently finished a clear-up from Storm Babet, which left glass, tarmac and debris across part of the Harbour and destroyed kayak racks and timber planters.
Mr Duns added: " We inspected The Wall last week and it was fine, but it was The Combination of very high tides and this weekend's storm.
" The big challenge is to get the funding, but we will rebuild it - we can't just Leave It as it is. "
