North Berwick is a popular seaside summer retreat located on the Firth of Forth in Scotland. There are 2 sandy beaches where you can find holidaymakers and sunbathers alike. The township has a small year-round population of around 6,600 and is roughly 20 miles from Edinburgh or 30-minutes by train.

The small town has a long history with evidence of settlement dating back 2,000 years. More recent archeological evidence shows a ferry crossing to Earlsferry before the North Berwick Harbour was added in the 12th century to keep up with passenger and trade demand.

Some notable landmarks built between the 12th and 16th centuries in the area include North Berwick Castle toward the east end of town, nearby Tantallon Castle, and some of the town’s churches. Another notable landmark is North Berwick Law, a volcanic hill overlooking the town upon which a Napoleonic era signal station can be found.

After you have explored all of the historical attractions and lounged around on the beaches in North Berwick it might be time for a round of golf. There are several golf clubs on the outskirts of the town and they are open to visitors. These golf clubs are yet another popular attraction in this town.

Seacliff is a private beach with an entry fee in North Berwick, and the East Lothian Yacht Club also hosts a few sailing events. Another popular place to visit is the award-winning Scottish Seabird Centre. Here you can view feeds from live cameras on some of the Firth of Forth islands off the coast.

Keep an eye out to sea while you stroll along the beaches or get in a round of golf. You might spot one of the Islands of the Forth from the coast. Bass Rock is easier to spot than others as the white feathers of the puffins and gannets that rooster there make it stand out.
