We're beachcombing in South Queensferry - the perfect place to collect super rare sea glass colours and super chunky finds!! Its no secret - any one watching our videos already knows that Queensferry is a special place for sea glass - we do not go there very often, but once in a while, we make the trip over, put up with the noise of passing trains, just to pick out a small selection of the best seaglass to be found!
From the very earliest years of Craig's life, South Queensferry has been a spacial place - so many days spent here, walking the shores, playing in the sand, enjoying a local ice cream, and escaping into a child's adventure land of wonder! The Bridge, immortalized in Ian Banks novel, has long been an inspiration for Nicole too - as an architectural wonder of the modern world, the Victorian rail link, connecting Scotland's capital, Edinburgh, to the north of the country, helped to grow Nicole's architect's imagination during her studies. How apt and lovely then that we can find beauty and wonder here together as Scottish Mudlarking!!
The sun is out, the sky is blue and its a perfect day to go hunting the perfect sea glass - so, sit back, relax and let us share our finds with you!
We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Wonderful to watch. Thank you for posting.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video !
So pleasing to watch. Thank You
So kind of you :)
I am now schooled in the beautiful subtleties of the gem known as ‘sea glass’.
I walk away,a wiser man.
Thanks so much Charles :) So glad you enjoyed what I look for in sea glass for jewellery! So kind of you to say !
Beautiful glass pieces, take care and thanks for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Thanks so much Chris! Such a lovely array of colours there :)
Hi 👋 Nicole and Craig wow loving the sea glass you found ❤️💙💖🩵🩷💜🤍🧡🤎
Thanks so much Joan :) It's such a special place!
I actually love trains and bridges. I hope to go to South Queensferry when we take our vacation. What a magnificent spot! My favorite pieces of today’s video were the poison bottle piece and the peach one. So beautiful!
Thanks so much !! It's a great place to go and there are restaurants where you can sit outside and watch the trains and look out over the Firth of Forth :) Those two pieces were amazing!
Very nice video.
Thanks so much Janet :)
Hello Craig & Nicole! Great day out even with the noise. I have 4 children so the noise didn’t even bother me! Loved all the beautiful colors of the sea glass. Can say the pink was my favorite. Thanks for a beautiful day out. ♥️
Thanks so much Sissi! It's such a lovely place to visit, lots of little shops further down towards the newer bridges, with restaurants and ice cream - always a hot spot to sit and look at the bridges, very popular! The pink glass was such an amazing huge piece! x
Don’t let the noise keep you away! Nice video but I saw several blue and red bits you missed.
Thanks so much Tina :) We saw those in the edit... but never at the beach!!
Love your jewelery.❤
Thank you so much Donna :)
Da hat dir der Osterhase aber wieder besonders schöne Stücke hingelegt😀🐇. Natürlich sind die Schmuckstücke noch viel, viel schöner. Diese kleinen gedrehten Muscheln gibt es an der Ostsee auch. Die sammele ich gerne für Basteleien, wären auch süße Ohrringe. Habt beide ein schönes Osterfest 👍
Danke Dir Gabriele! Dieser Strand ist wirklich toll fuer Glas :) Oh and der Ostsee gibt es auch Bernstein und tolle Ostseejade !!
@@scottishmudlarking
Das stimmt, obwohl ich Bernstein bisher nur an der Nordseeküste in Dänemark gefunden habe. Diese Ostseejade hab ich nur auf Bildern gesehen und noch nie einen Fizzel gefunden😫
Craig was spot on; my eyes were everywhere seeing beautiful pieces of glass. I loved that long oblong piece that Craig found but didn’t take! I could see it with a sinuous creeper of silver snaking down it. I live by the beach, but absolutely no sea glass or pottery 😢. To me it was like being a kid in a sweet shop!
Thanks so much! It really felt like sea glass heaven - so many amazing pieces there :)
Nice picking. So much sea glass.
It is such a lovely beach for sea glass - bit tricky to get to :) Thanks Nancy!
With all that noise must be your presence on the beach - even the CROW CLUX CLAN knew you were there ! Great find the pink glass, mini jackpot ! Noticed before you reach the middle of the Forth train bridge the structure is like the viaduct that used to exist near to where I live(called the Walnut Tree Viaduct) - 1.30m. Further into the video was a milky glass object - looked like a Random sweet ! LEGO pieces still being found years later - few stories ! Very productive day and a good demo !
Hello!! So sorry for the tardy replies... Many thanks - it was a good, if wee bit noisy day! Such a busy wee spot - used to be a treat to come here for ice cream when I was a kid! Ah!! Those pillars - or are they called pontoons? But yes! They really look like the same design... Just saw there is some old footage of that viaduct online - cool!
Oh! Beach sweets! lol Dropped by a passing seagull! :D
Thank you so much, our best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
@@scottishmudlarking think you were doing work with your house(important to you) - one I got to comment on ...... the moon one day traveling on the M4 was a orange peach, further north it was like a blood red..
I am always amazed how different glass can be at opposite ends of the same beach. Thanks for sharing!❤🇺🇸
Thanks so much Tracy! IThe sea glass was really very different on both ends of the beach :)
Hola It's been almost 2 years since your last trip to Queen Ferry The last time you met Gail and her daughter from Northeren Mudlarking!
Yes two years since we've been :) Everytime we cross the bridge I look down and see myself wondering along the beach ....
I’m going to this beach soon! I can’t wait 😍
Fingers crossed you'll find a few lovely treasures :)
I would be weighed down with all the pieces I would have picked up. The pieces you picked up especially the Kelly green one.
Thanks so much Jayne :) We leave lots behind for others to find !
Remarkable range of colors. What a wonderful day of collecting you had.
Thanks so much Fern :) We truly enjoyed it!
I love the Aqua pieces. I would take a big piece like you found & make a Bracelet of it.. but that is just me & My love of Aqua..
Thanks so much Leslye! Oh that would be a stunner of a bracelet :)
I love the thought & care you put into your sea glass jewelry. Sea-foam is my favorite color too!
Thank you so much Roxy! So kind of you to say :)
We was going out to the beach this Easter but me and my husband came down with COVID and I feel so ill and sick as a dog your lovely glass video cheered me up and reminded me that I can go another day blessed Easter to you both
Thanks so much Dawn! Glad we cheered you up - hope you are both feeling better now :)
Just found this channel. Great watch. You have a new subscriber
Thanks so much and a warm welcome to our channel Alan! Enjoy, Nicole & Craig
Nice video👍
Thanks 👍
Hi Nicole and Craig,
The sea glass is gorgeous! I really love the tiny pieces. That's why I'm still so happy with my necklace with all the tiny pieces of seaglass.
I wish you both a blessed Easter.
Have a lovely week.
Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤️, Ilona
Thanks so much Ilona! So happy to hear the rainbow locket makes you happy :) Happy Easter - Frohe Ostern from both of us, Nicole & Craig x
Great show today !!! 💖Luv you guys bunches💖
Thanks ever so much Jeannie :) So kind of you to say!
Hello Nicole, hello Craig. It's been a fantastic day of Mudlarking. I would be hard spent to decide whether or not to take this piece of sea glass or that. I'm afraid I would be weighed down with all the beauty. I did especially like the peach and green pieces. Greetings from the U.S.A.
Thanks so much Peggy! Oh we tend to leave lots of pieces behind for others to find, but it was very tempting to take more than we need at this place :) x
So excited to see a new video today. So nice to see you both and the lovely looking sea glass, too!
Thanks so much Sheila :) It's such an amazing place to be !
So happy that you went back to this beach! So many treasures, and a rainbow 🌈 of colors! Nicole, I loved your explanation of the types of sea glass! At 21:55 you found a tiny cream-colored round object, that you said was probably a “collar stud” or something connected to a button. I found one exactly like this on the shores of Maine, and had no idea of what it was! Thank you for explaining! And thank you for a wonderful adventure! Sea glass is still my favorite! Take care! 🙏❤️
Thanks ever so much Ruth! So happy to hear you enjoyed the explanation of jewellery and craft quality sea glass and the mystery of the collar stud !! x
I would need a wagon to carry all the sea glass I would think is perfect. Your explanation of how you classify the quantities of jewelry quality is very insightful.
Thanks so much Carolyn! So glad you enjoyed the explanation of sea glass :) We always leave lots of pieces behind for others to find !
Nice finds
Thanks so much Laura :)
I used to live near McChord Air Force Base, and then later under the flight path at Sea Tac Airport. Jets and planes are LOUD, but you get used to it and background noise, like traffic, really doesn't bother me. But it's probably louder and more distracting for you both, so we appreciate this video even more! Happy Easter! :-)
Thanks so much! There is always some chatting going on at this beach :) It's such a popular spot for anyone, going there and watching the trains!
There was also a small red piece when you picked up the blue at 8:30.
Oh no! We missed that one... :(
Hello there you two 😊 I, for one, didn't mind the noises. The green poison bottle pendant is fabulous ❤
Thanks so much Terryl :) I was so surprised that the poison bottle piece was so well frosted, seeing it's so thin compared to other pieces we found! It is really lovely and bright green !
You both inspired me to head to my coastline five hours away. But the winds and bitter rain was not conducive to larking. So it came to tea and sandwiches watching the ocean from our room. Went antique shopping instead but found nothing. Maybe the end of next month I will try again. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Easter 🐣
Thanks so much Jeriann! Oh that's a very long drive to get to the beach!!! Maybe it'll be better in the summer -hope you find some sea glass then :) Happy Easter! x
Some of my favourite pieces of seaglass are brown. I don't know why people disparage it. The green ridged piece was also lovely.
Thanks so much! Brown is not very popular in jewellery but it looks stunning against the sun - like amber or gold sometimes :) The poison bottle piece is so smooth , quite unusal for such a thin piece !
Thank you , lovely video :) I always collect beach glass on the island where we live, each piece it's own loveliness. May I ask what kind of drill you use to make holes in the pieces? I haven't been able to find a good method myself. Thank you.
Thanks so much ! Check out our video on how to drill sea glass ( the one with the marble on it ) it has lots of tips and tricks to help you get started with drilling ! Enjoy!
@@scottishmudlarking Thank you!
Very informative video. Loving the variety of glass that you found. As a novice why were you not so keen on the piece of glass that had a non frosted edge? Does it really make a difference. Many thanks
Thanks so much Peter! We are very picky as we are making jewellery with the sea glass, but if you are collecting for yourself, every piece is special and you can keep your finds in jars and they look amazing - with or without perfectly frosted edges! :)
Was that another piece of red just up from the 1st piece at about 7.30? What great hunting today.
Yep. Missed that one, sadly. What a shame.
@@neesr13 always the next time. X
Oh no!!! I think both, Craig and I, saw that piece only in the edit ... and looked at one another - was that red!?!?
Lovely video yet again! And lovely finds!
Thanks so much :) Glad you enjoyed the video!
Is that a blue piece of plastic on the right side at 24:12, very near the Lego piece?
It probably was plastic Tina ( likely I picked it up !) :)
Do you make use of silver in your seaglass jewelry Nicole?
Thanks so much Hanneke! All of the pieces are set in sterling silver :)
oh I don't know how you didn't take everything!!!!!
Aww we leave lots behind for others, but take as much plastic as possible :) Thanks so much Donna !! x
Was this north or south queensferry?
South Queensferry- nqfr is more mud than anything 🙄
Oh wow - so how do you tell if you have found sea glass that is over 100 years old? I have so much of I, however have no idea of its age :)
The sea foam and pirate glass pieces were only made until the 30s and then it's the thickness of the glass. Compare your finds to modern broken glass - Codd bottle pieces are 1cm thick, modern glass is only 1/10 of that :)
Where are you at?
South Queensferry Laura :)
Suggestion: you should spend less camera time on just one thing. Though I like the video overall
Thanks so much John-Nancy :)
I think if you would not have mentioned the train or the bike, or anything about the background noise, I probably would not have even noticed. It became more annoying that you kept talking about the noises then the actual noises themselves. I have enjoyed videos in the past but I think you kind of spend too much time talking about each piece. It becomes a little tedious. Not trying to be rude in anyway. I hope it doesn’t come off that way because it is not my intention. Just giving constructive criticism. Take it or leave it but I like watching you guys so I figured it best to be truthful.
Thanks Lindsay! I was difficult to edit around audible parts of other peoples conversation - the trains don't bother us either.... Glad you enjoyed the video overall!
