Scotland's only voluntary marine reserve in Berwickshire has turned 40 years old.

Scotland’s first and only remaining voluntary marine reserve is about to celebrate its 40th birthday.

Since environmentalist David Bellamy OBE officially launched Berwickshire Marine Reserve on 18 August 1984, thousands of volunteers have helped maintain the beaches and inshore waters.

A rich variety of creatures have benefitted from the extra protection along the five miles (8km) of coastline between Eyemouth and St Abbs Head.
