All about North Berwick

The seaside resort of North Berwick is a perfect package of beaches, cute cafes, lively pubs, and pretty streets — all located within easy striking distance of Edinburgh. Days here might start with a morning on the putting green, hiking the Berwick Law hill overlooking the town, or treasure-hunting among the independent shops before licking a cone of raspberry ripple all the way to the harbour or steeling yourself for a dip in the tide-filled seawater pool at East Sands Beach. A slam-dunk meal from a seafood hut or fine restaurant could precede a cask ale at a cosy Victorian pub.

It’s clear North Berwick is no longer just a preserve of golfers and retirees. Increasing popularity with commuters and day trippers and an influx of creatives and independent businesses indicate the future may lie in a more interesting direction. The most famous visitors to this Scottish town, however, are the tens of thousands of gannets that nest on the sheer-sided, 107-metre-high Bass Rock, one of several rocky islands in the Firth of Forth, considered one of Britain’s greatest wildlife spectacles.

What are the top things to do in North Berwick?

The museum also promotes walking routes relating to Robert Louis Stevenson, the famous Scottish author, who spent childhood holidays in North Berwick.

Scottish Seabird Centre

The Scottish Seabird Centre celebrates, researches, and protects Scotland’s diverse marine habitat. Interactive exhibits let visitors zoom in on local wildlife with live cameras, and you can arrange to go on birdwatching trips and boat tours to the Isle of May and Bass Rock, where gannets will perform theatrical fish-grabbing dives for your camera.

Beaches

The lovely beaches of West Bay and Milsey Bay will likely steal a lot of your time, but there are other beauties within easy reach along the coast. Yellowcraig, to the west, is a wide sandy stretch backed by dunes, grasslands, and forest laced with walking paths, and has play areas and family activities.
