The National Museum of Flight is an open-air museum featuring a collection of aircraft, including the iconic Concorde and Boeing 707. The site is extensive, and visitors are provided with a map upon arrival. It is dog-friendly and has plenty of amenities such as a kids assault course, cafe, picnic area, seating inside and outside. There are volunteers available to assist guests throughout their visit. The exhibits are top-notch with three airplanes accessible for walking in or viewing in a theatre setting.
The place is huge, but you can park quite in the middle. Not too many planes, but the ones on show are all pretty unique, lots of info provided. The Concorde experience alone is quite worth the visit. It was easy to spend the whole day, esp if you go to the cafe twice, like we did. Excellent, no-fuss hot food and drink options, big portions. The hangars are not heated, and there is quite a bit of walking outside if you want to see everything.

Great place to visit with kids. Really good cafe, not too expensive (but not cheap!) But really good selection especially for kids. And it's got a Concorde, what's not to love! Well... I do think it's worth having something about climate change and the future of air travel, that would be fascinating.

Fantastic day out really fascinating! Definitely worth going to the conservation hangar to hear about the work being done in the background. Going inside the concord there was amazing and the combination of both civil and military aviation was great. Also worth going right now because of the brick history with episodes of history told in Lego, really fun!

A great collection of aviation exhibitions! The Concorde Experience was amazing and the highlight of the trip! You can walk inside the plane and find all about different stakeholders involved and items used inside. Same with the other planes as well! The staff were really friendly too, providing us with insightful facts about the aircraft!
Would return just for Concorde to be honest because it is so impressive! Highly recommend!

Brilliant pla especially, well laid out, the concord was spectacular, as was the military side, worth going to see planes from all eras. One star less ?? Yes no hot food in cafe. Guy serving stood and watched us for at least 2 minutes while we looked at menu on wall above him, place an order THEN he tells us no hot food, just prepacked sandwiches in a fridge, poor service. Cheesiest and nicest staff worked in the shop, great shop and everyone was asked whether first time visiting or needed assistance and they were brilliant. Even the lady at the entry site was very nice

A place must have to explore. I feel so humble to just touch some of the planes on display which carry so much of the history. Concord oh yes you can go inside and feel it for yourself. The staff were amazing and so friendly. Very well accessible for disable people. Free parking and the cafeteria is amazing please don’t forget to have a scone as it’s a must to try and when you try for yourself then you will know why. A very good place to take your kids with you as their is so much for everyone to experience and explore as well. We spent a good three hours and really enjoyed every single bit of it.

This is a great day out, we visited on school holidays and it wasn't too busy. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The planes are great to see, you can go onboard several including concord.
It is quite a large site with several different hangers to walk between but very accessible and all on flat ground. Although there is stairs into the aircrafts.
Our favourite part of the day was the interactive area where we easily spent over an hour doing the different activities, adults and children loved it and had fun.
There is a cafe on site, we found it fairly reasonably average price for a tourist attraction and the food was nice.
Definitely recommend a visit here.

Really enjoyed being up close to these many historical aircraft. The sheer size of many of them was surprising particularly the Vulcan. Obviously the Concorde experience was great. Whether it's funding or just time constraints, but some of the aircraft could really do with fresh paint. Overall a great experience and thanks to all those involved.

This is a great little hidden gem near the village of East Linton on the road from Edinburgh heading south to North Berwick. A fair sized collection of aircraft is to be found here.It is even. good to visit even on a rainy day as most aircraft are under cover. Here you can see concorde in all its splendour and outdoors is the magnificent Vulcan Bomber, a few of which ate still flying.There is a beautifully preserved Spitfire but jewel in the Crown of the Collection is the WW2 Luftwaffe Messerschmit Komet. The worlds first rocket powered operational fighter plane.Many missions were suicidal as the tiny plane jettisoned its wheels upon take off and had to rely on the skill of the pilot to land in soft ground on a metal skid . Many planes exploded on landing cos of the volatility of the remaining rocket fuel in the tanks.
A fascinating place.There is a cafeteria and shop to rest in after walking around marvelling at the Aviation wonders of the past.

FANTASTIC Day out. So much to see and do. You get a map of the site cos it's so big . Its Dog friendly (bonus) kids assault course cafe plenty of seating inside and out and there is a picnic arer aswell . It's a very clean site plenty of parking loads of volunteers to help you out. The exhibit s are first class . Concord it spectacular to see. There are three planes that you can Go and walk in. One that is a theatre also. There is one building called Fantastic Flight and its is full of great activities to keep kids and adults happy like Flight simulator to quick reaction test. We where there for 4 hours and still had a few things to see . We would definitely go back. If you go have a great time ✈️🛩🛫🛬🚁💺

Great afternoon out! It had been a few years since our last visit and there has been clear significant investment, with upgraded displays, signage, a WW2 East Fortune exhibit, and a fantastic interactive hands on science of flight area which all kids, big and small, really enjoyed! The volunteer guides were friendly and very knowledgeable, whilst being unobtrusive and yet always available. The cafe was great, and all in all, we loved it!

Excellent aviation museum. So much to see and learn about. So many classic planes. It is a comprehensive collection.
We arrived at lunch time and ran out of time. Best to allow all day and be able to do as much as you wish. And still I think it would be difficult to do it all properly!
All good, well worth the money 😎👍👍👍

An amazing place to visit and actually get inside a Concorde plane. The volunteers are really helpful and friendly. There is plenty of parking and the admission prices are very reasonable. Make to checkout other hangers which have many historical planes and memoirs. It's a very clear 5 stars and a strong recommendation from me to visit if you are interested. You can book tickets online if you don't want to wait at the entrance.

Amazing place for anyone who are interested in aviation. Staff is helpful and lovely. Easy to spend few hours without even noticing. Main attraction is undoubtedly the Concorde, it is definitely must see. Had a great time, absolutely recommended.

We went on a free weekend but there were a lot of great exhibits and we spent the best part of 5 hours there.
Parking is plentiful.
There's quite a lot of outdoor walking between exhibits so bare that in mind when preparing for your day. There's a fun playground and shop. The Fantastic Flight and Concorde exhibits are definitely the highlight. One or two of the exhibits close at 16:00 so bear that in mind. There's lots of open space so even on a busy weekend it never felt overwhelming.
Plenty of toilets in and around the Concorde exhibition.
The cafe has decent food and options and prices are in line with most museum and zoo cafes.
If we lived more locally we would definitely be interested in the family year pass as this seems like great value for money.

We arrived a bit late in the day so only had an hour to spend before they closed, however we still massively enjoyed it. The staff are all really lovely and clearly knowledgeable about the aircraft. Highly recommend going to see the Concorde.

Love this place. Wish we lived closer but hey ho. One bad thing... it makes me wish id had the chance to fly on Concorde! Love the military planes and the history of the airfield is fascinating. Some of the outdoor planes are a bit shabby and thats a shame as i love the Vulcan and its story in Operation Black Buck. Close up you can see how huge it is. The Concorde walk through is so cool my kids love it.

Nice place to visit some of the legendary British aircraft, especially the Concorde. it had great and well conditioned preserves which visitors could walk close to see and even walk into some of the old aircrafts and have a view of the interiors and cockpit. It was a great place with historic stories and also physical experience.
Tantallon Castle, formerly a stronghold and residence for the Earls of Angus, features a central tower with five levels and replica cannons. While the castle is currently closed to visitors, the gift shop remains open and provides access to the impressive curtain walls and exterior of the building. The staff are welcoming and helpful, making it a memorable stop for those passing by.
Although the castle itself is closed, the gift shop is open and you can still walk up to the magnificent curtain walls and the front area of the castle. We nipped in while passing by and it was well worth a bracing walk up to the castle and gift shop where you can grab a cup of coffee and use the conveniences. Very friendly staff and a memorable place to visit if you’re passing by.

Such an exquisite spot! This is a must visit for people who visit Edinburgh and have time. Its about 50 mins from main city. The roads are beautiful. You need to book the visit in advance by going to the website and booking the slot. Its free of cost, however you will receive a scan code and a mail which you need to show in the ticket house when you arrive. Car parking available, its free. Separate parking for caravans.
The castle, as mentioned in their website is closed for public now but the grounds are open.. Beautiful views overlooking the North sea.
We went on a Thursday so the place was nice n peaceful,hardly any crowd. Very clean toilets available for public. Really well maintained place overall.
Would visit this place again!

A longish walk from the first car park, however so well worth it. The views out to the bass rock and the firth of forth.
On the clear day you can alloy's see over to the kingdom of Fife.
There are currently repair works happening so that the structural integrity can be maintained for future generations

A wonderful castle to visit. Reasonable entry price and fully dog friendly too! Less mobile dogs might need more help with all the castle stairs but our 13 year old managed okay with some help. Great views and a huge amount of history as well as some really nice pieces in the gift shop at the end

It was a really nice day so the views were lovely and it was great to see the castle. Sadly, there were conservation works at the time so we couldn’t go inside. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the parking was very good with a lot of spaces to accommodate people.

We arrived after closing time so had to make a long walk. One of Scotland’s most magnificent castles but unfortunately we didn’t get to go inside. But the view of Bass Rock and Isle of May set against the castle in the foreground is worth the visit alone. Seeing our first peregrine falcon who is currently nesting in the castle was an unforgettable experience too.

We got free tickets through Historic Scotland's free Historic Sunday deal, free entry currently on first Sunday of the month, but would gladly have paid as really enjoyed this castle.
It was mighty windy, which affected how long we stayed with our toddler, but the views from the castle were stunning, and it was not too busy, meaning we could take things at our own pace.
Would like to go back and explore a bit more when nicer weather.

Stunning location. Amazing views of the coast. Being so high up in a crumbling castle structure along with the strong winds took our breath away and made our stomachs drop.
Plenty of free off-street parking, small Cafe, tables for eating and restrooms.
Spent over an hour.
Worth the time and relatively cheap admission.
Staff on-site to answer any questions and provide instructions.

Absolutely loved the place. We arrived at 3pm and still got an hour and a half to explore the castle
The staff up front are really friendly and greeted us with smiles :) there were not many people around
The castle is still in really good shape and is just a small distance from the parking lot. There is lots of parking available( inner and outer parking)
The views from the castle are amazing. It still has rooms that you can go visit . The stairs are steep so if you have kids then it might be a bit of challenge to come down.
The water surrounding the castle makes for quite a view. I don’t know why it took me so long to visit this castle but it was definitely worth the visit

It was a bit of an effort to reach here by Public transport (frequency of bus to castle either from Dunbar or North Berwirk is not great)
But, all the efforts were worth when we entered the castle.
Very scenic
Pro-
Beautiful scenery, Good peek into history
Cons-
Public transport frequency is not good, road leading to within castle is very muddy on a rainy day
Those going by Public transport -
Castle closes at 4pm, after that next bus to Dunbar is at 5:11pm - you will be stranded for an hour outside castle. Plan trip in advance looking at the bus timings

This is a fantastic ruin to visit, the people that work there are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Although we were still unable to go inside the castle, as they’re doing remedial works on it, it was still a great marvel to see. Would recommend going on a nice day, taking a picnic and making the most of the scenery. I will definitely be going back when the interior is open again (which should be Aug 2023).
Bass Rock, a renowned rocky island, boasts remnants of an aged castle and chapel. It is also known for its vast population of Northern Gannets, which makes it home during March to October each year before flying off to the west coast of Africa. A mere glance from afar would show what appears as a white cliff but upon closer inspection you can discern thousands upon thousands of these gannets.
It is unbelievable for me that there are sooo many birds living there…I’ve never seen such view before! Actually it’s quite interesting because I found maybe this place seems a little small for them??? Why they choose to gather here is a problem.

We took the Sea-Safari boat over from North Berwick to appreciate the fascinating history of the Rock and Craigleith Island along with the spectacular sight of the tens of thousands of gannets, gulls, cormorants and the accompanying smells! Wonderful experience.
Bobbie Jeal — Google review
Bass Rock is, according to the latest bird count, home to the world's largest colony of Northern Gannets (approximately 150,000 of them). From a distance the cliff just looks white, but when you get closer, you can identify thousands and thousands of gannets. They're here on Bass Rock from March until the end of October, when they will set out on a long journey down to the west coast of Africa. If you have time, book a boat tour that circles Bass Rock (or even a "landing trip") via the Scottish Seabird Centre.
Ronald Schokker — Google review
The Bass Rock is an enormous pinnacle rising from the north sea near North Berwick that's home to one of the world's largest colonies of Gannets. Regular trips to the rock are taken from the Scottish Seabird Centre in NB and although the prices are a little high the journey is well worth every penny. You'll get taken by boat out to the rock (but not onto it) and all the way around it so you can guarantee some amazing photos. There's puffins and seals to keep a watch out for too, and you'll be surprised to see a lighthouse and the remains of old prison settlements up there as well.

The Isle of May landing is absolutely not to be missed if Puffins are on your list....you will witness a breathtaking show of "Puffinry" in every aspect....flying, floating, posing for pictures on the most beautiful cliffs and rocks!
Our guide was knowledgeable, and most enthusiastic about this environment....this trip is amazing in every way...
Seacliff Beach is located in a remote area of East Lothian and offers stunning views of Bass Rock and Tantallon Castle, as well as wooded walking trails. The beach is privately owned and requires a fee to access the narrow track leading to the car park. It is dog-friendly and has lifeguard services, as well as restroom facilities. The charming sandstone harbor adds to the beach's beauty, with a breathtaking view of Tantallon Castle ruins visible from the shore.
This is a beautiful beach and feels very private.
It's very quiet and secluded most of the time.
Really nice views and vantage points but this can be rocky so being shoes onto the beach.
Parking is £3 in cash and there is a big carpark with toilets.

Only giving this 1 star. This place is worth so much more but to put the parking fee up to £5 from £3 is just absolutely ridiculous. It's nothing but greed. I'll be parking safely up the top end and walking down from now on.
No need for the rate to be this high. Especially for the state of the road 80% of the time.

Located near North Berwick, NB Distillery is a family-owned establishment that specializes in producing gin, vodka, and rum. The purpose-built distillery offers tours and tastings for visitors to learn about the production process and the story behind NB Gin. Additionally, guests can savor North Berwick gin in cocktails at The Crown & Kitchen in East Linton. The C&K Seasonal Swizzle features homemade syrup using local seasonal ingredients, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and soda water.
NB Distillery is set against the stunning green landscape of North Berwick. The people are delightful, and the distillery itself is a beautiful space. I ordered two bottles to my flat (gin and rum) and was so impressed by the quick shipping! They offer wonderful drink choices for a gift or an upcoming party. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an exceptional experience within North Berwick.

I had my 40th birthday party at the Distillery and it was a fantastic night! The space was great for the party - with welcome NB gin or NB rum downstairs and then upstairs for food, more drinks and live music. Jenny and the rest of the staff were excellent in the lead up, setup and during the party. I'd highly recommend it as a party venue and most importantly their NB gin and rum are delicious!

This place definitely deserves full marks. It is excellent in every way. The hosts were very warm and the whole evening was full of interest. You learnt the full story of how NB Gin came out as well as how gin is made. The tasters were good too as you were advised on what would be best, but also told to experiment. We came away with a completely different picture of gin tasting much more than we used to. NB Gin wins with flying colours. Not going back to the basics anymore!
The Scottish Seabird Centre is a wonderful attraction that offers visitors the chance to see many different kinds of birds and mammals up close. The centre also has a discovery area where visitors can learn about the wildlife in the area. The seasonal seafaris are also a great way to see some of the wildlife in Scotland in its natural environment.
Wonderful lovely place, pure nature. I fell in love with it. Was quite when I was here (10th March 2022 to be precise) and I loved the calmness of sea, the cool breeze and the horizon. Heard it will be busy with nature lovers visit in summer. Wish you all a happy visit. Love Nature - Peace. 💐

Visited to do a boat trip of Bass Rock.
The staff in the visitor centre and on catamaran were excellent. Informative but not boring commentary on board that certainly added to my awareness of bird behaviour and the history of Bass Rock.
The trip itself was just incredible. The views were beautiful, we managed to get pretty close to seals, puffins and gannets. Bass rock looks even more stunning up-close.

We enjoyed our lunch in this attractive, spacious centre, just before joining one of their "Three Islands Seabird Seafari" boat trips. After a friendly welcome by the reception staff, we went over to the cafe area and ordered from their very reasonably priced light lunch and drinks menu. My soup and sandwich combo was delicious and good value and my teenage daughter appreciated her soup and very generous bowl of chips.
We were a bit anxious about how wise it was to eat just before the boat trip, but all was good! Our boat trip was around an hour and a half in a RIB (rigid inflatable boat). Waterproofs would have been good as we did get very wet and we needed to warm up with cake and hot chocolate in the cafe afterwards.
We really enjoyed the boat trip around the islands of the Lamb, Craigleith and Bass Rock. Our guide, who knew everything there is to know about them, pointed out all the seabirds and seals and their habitats. It was fascinating to see and learn so much, especially about the gannets, guillemots, shags and kittiwakes. It was early April and we only saw one puffin but there were also several young seals taking a rest on the islands.
Highly recommended - we'd love to do another boat trip, but will find the waterproofs next time! Also, it would probably be a good idea to book the boat trip in advance - there was only one sailing for each of the trips we were considering.

My husband and I did the Isle of May landing trip in early May through the Seabird Centre and we had such an amazing time! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and I appreciated that a fairly short (optional) tour was offered before we were given about an hour and a half to explore the island on our own. The trip also included a stop at Bass Rock on the way to the Isle of May. I had been looking forward to doing this for years and I'm so glad we booked the excursion through the Seabird Centre! The centre itself has a little cafe and shop so if you forgot a hat or scarf etc. and are planning on a boat trip you can pick one up there; I thought they were fairly priced.

Three Island Seabird Seafari - What a fantastic experience this is, highly recommend! The guides are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and the RIB is actually quite comfortable. I do understand why the Seabird Centre have flagged up that it’s not suitable for people with back and neck issues, as you never know how choppy it might be out at sea.
We’ve been twice now, the first time was on a calmer day so we opted not to wear the waterproofs…but by the time we got out to Bass Rock, safe to say I was drenched and very cold, so 100% recommended wearing the waterproofs - even if you think it’s a calm day, it might not be further out! 😆

A great experience all round! Loads of activities to do and learn from as part of the experience as well as live feeds on islands close by to see the current birds. We got a slight discount as their puffin camera was broken at the time but they were showing a recording from last year's nesting which was great to see! A lot of fun and really educational with some great items in the gift shop. Fully dog friendly too which is a huge bonus

I had originally planned to visit the place in late December but switched my trip as I had heard that the gannets might still be there till the end of October. The gannets had other ideas so I didn't see any. I did, however, capture the sight of a seal 🦭 in a video.
On my way down to the Centre I asked a couple of locals for the name of an island / rock. I was told it was Craigleith. As this was the first time I had heard this name, I thought it was Craig Leith so continued this train of thought in our conversation. I even said that it looked as though Craig had been severely caught out by the recent flooding.
Even before then I had asked if I could take a photo of a card in a shop so that I could email the image to a friend whose 70th birthday it was that day. I got the photo and sent the email.
The Centre itself, though small, is packed with fascinating items. The highlight, amongst many, was sitting about 8 feet away from a screen to watch 3D videos. A lot of the fish 🐟 only looked to be one foot in front of my face. A video of geese closely following a man on a glider also caught the eye. I hadn't seen that one, maybe, for decades.
In the central area there were several tables and screens providing a lot of information. I particularly liked one game in which I was able to try and mimic a fulmar as it spat at all that came within its reach.
At busier times of the year, I might not have had the time to spend there but I might have seen loads of gannets. Loads? Potentially 150,000.
Best to check with the place as to whether you should buy tickets in advance. At quieter times it isn't but could well be in the summer months.
A place that appeals to all ages.
Oh, yes. North Berwick does have a "sweet spot".

Nice gift shop and café with seats overlooking the sea. We booked one of their boat trips to see the seabirds, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the weather - obviously not their fault, just one of those things. Would definitely try again if back in North Berwick.
Dirleton Castle & Gardens is a historic site situated in a charming village with well-maintained surroundings. The castle itself is an ancient fortified house with ruins that depict its medieval past. The gardens are a sight to behold, featuring the world's longest herbaceous border and providing ample space for leisurely walks. Visitors can also explore the nearby John Muir pathways leading to Yellowcraigs Beach, which boasts stunning sand dunes and crystal-clear waters.
What a beautiful little village 😍
Well kept village green, plenty of onstreet parking. Lots of access to the John Muir pathways...the mile leading to Yellowcraigs Beach is great (and a what stunning little beach at the end!! The sand dunes keep it sheltered and apart from the seaweed (as youd expect!) a clean & pretty stretch of sand!).
Responsible dog owners keep their dogs at heel / on lead due to the pheasants and abundance of young deer in the fields either side of the pathway.
Unfortunately didn't make a trip to Dirleton Castle as we ran out of time but will make time next time we are in the area as it looks lovely & interesting....

Dirleton Castle is a historic castle located in the village of Dirleton, Scotland. It dates back to the 13th century. The castle is known for its impressive architecture, including a 12th-century keep, a 13th-century gatehouse, and a beautiful walled garden.
Dirleton Castle has a rich history and has been owned by several prominent Scottish families over the centuries. It has witnessed many significant events, including sieges, battles, and royal visits. The castle was eventually abandoned in the 17th century and fell into disrepair before being restored in the 19th century.
Today, Dirleton Castle is managed by historic Scotland and is open to the public. Visitors can explore the castle's ruins, climb its towers, and learn about its fascinating history through exhibitions and audio guides. The walled garden surrounding the castle is also a popular attraction, featuring beautiful flowers, herbs, and sculptures. At present due to safety measures some of the castle is of limits to the public there is toilets in car park and great food and beverages are served at the castle bar across from the castle (not affiliated to castle )
Just Down from the castle you have yellowcraigs beach worth a visit beautiful views over the forth

We only were able to go around the gardens and view the castle thru a fence, but we enjoyed our trip and used the qr codes on the fence to view history etc. All staff were lovely and the gardens were gorgeous and still in full bloom, despite the best of summer being gone!

Recently bought the Historic Scotland membership card and my nephews decided they wanted to visit Dirleton Castle on the bank holiday so that what we done. The ladies in the shop were very friendly and informative which was nice. The grounds and garden are very well kept. Some bits of the Castle were closed off due to needing some restoration but we pretty much had the place to ourselves so the boys loved getting to explore - especially down in the prisoner area. We took lots of photo's and maybe even captured a couple of 'permanent residents' under the stairs...

Nice castle to visit! Easy to get to by bus, and affordable entry fee. Do keep in mind that the ramp access to the castle was shut, so stairs was the only option to get inside. Lovely gardens with a range of flowers and colours. You can tell its really looked after well!

About half the castle if closed for works but this is reflected in the entry price (half price) still plenty to have a wander round and explore and lovely gardens to. We still spent a good hour here and the guy on the entrance couldn't have been nicer.
Entry to the actual Castle is by alot of steps atm as South entrance is closed.

Castle with a beautiful garden. Many areas in the castle are closed for repairing, so I cannot get to all rooms in the castle. Can explore the castle inside, but the garden and grassland are better. Very suitable for walking and enjoying the sunshine and flowers.

We stopped at Dirleton Castle and Gardens for a picnic lunch en route to Edinburgh from Northumberland. Surprisingly splendid ruins and a pretty garden, well worth a minor diversion off the A1. Entry charge was so ridiculously cheap (£3.60) that we felt obliged to make a voluntary donation on top.
We visited the Harbour as part of a Scottish Seabird Centre boat trip to the Bass Rock. Such a great atmosphere at the Harbour and great to see the Lobster Shack open again, but highly recommend the Seabird Centre Cafe for some of the best views when enjoying lunch

This is a stunning little harbour with lots to view and see. There is a bird center to visit, fish and chip shops, ice cream vans/shops and a little place that serves fresh lobster. The beach is lovely and clean and there is a toy box for the children to pick a toy to play with while on the beach.

A stunning little historic harbour. In the summer season, there’s plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the view. You can catch ferry tours around Bass Rock and other little islands but would recommend pre-booking as these sell out most of the time. In the summer season, you can pick up some fresh seafood at The Lobster Shack right on the harbour, you can get tea, lunches, cake etc from the Seabird Centre and also some fantastic seafood dishes at The Rocketeer. There’s also public toilets available.

The initial garden boasts a variety of flowers, a sundial, an aviary, a rose garden, and glass houses. The gardens also feature numerous standing stones and spacious areas. Additionally, there is a diverse selection of trees, including a lavender garden and a playground for children. This hidden gem in North Berwick offers tranquility and relaxation—an unexpected delight for those visiting the area. It served as the central hub for "Fringe by the Sea," providing an excellent venue with an appealing atmosphere.
Great place and big play park for the kids.
From July to September 2021 there is #thebigharetrail throughout North Berwick & one in Dirleton. Two of them are in the Loge grounds so a great start to the trail.

The park itself was lovely, even on a chilly February afternoon, and had a large playground for children.
Our trip was spoilt however by some very nasty graffiti that was left on the pavement. We washed it off but it was very disheartening to see such vile symbols used, especially in a place where children play.

Excellent park. Well kept, clean & tidy! Swings, slides, flying fox etc for the children (Inc bucket swing for extra security) large green area, friendly dogs welcome to run but lifting number 2's essential! Solid path all the way around, perfect for kids biking or a morning run! Car park at gate, free some months of the year, otherwise there is a parking charge. Look out for the beautiful birds kept on premises! :)

Lovely little unknown Gem of a find, all my years going to North Berwick I never knew how tranquil and relaxing this place could be, understandably it was the nucleus of " Fringe by the Sea" and a great spot at that, looking to return once it has settled the Ambience. Highly recommended walk through the grounds ... 😁
Bright and thoughtful exhibitions - histories geology, personal stories, artefacts. Activities for the children. Staff - all volunteers - engage with you. Highly recommended. An hour plus just goes. Free - but donate if u wish to show support

The museum was fantastic and bigger than we'd expected! Really interesting exhibits on the history of the area and its communities. Friendly volunteers who were passionate about the museum, and they had loads of activities set up to engage kids in every room - quizzes, searching for Lego figures in the exhibits, dressing up - a much better range of this stuff than many far larger museums.
Very welcoming.

I was looking for the tourist information office and signage led through the streets to the public library then out of curiosity I went upstairs and stumbled across the Museum! Friendly welcome from two lady volunteers and free entry (donations appreciated) Several specious rooms with top quality exhibits covering every conceivable aspect of community life from geology 400m years ago through illegal street preachers right up to 21stC. We stayed a hour and could have stayed twice as long.

I was fully prepared to be underwhelmed but, on the contrary, this made a splendid visit. Loads of interesting information about the town and locality, as well as the fascinating geology, presented for all ages and in a well-lit space. Thoroughly recommended!
NEW:
Revisited after 2 years. Displays are updated. Particularly interested in Catherine Watson's story. Liked the hat. Puzzled by coin collection - old pence were surely denoted by "d" suffix (denarius) not "p". As if the change to decimal currency isn't confusing enough!
Yellowcraig Beach, also known as Broad Sands Bay, is a picturesque sandy beach set amidst lush forest and grassland. This expansive beach offers breathtaking views of Fidra Island and its iconic lighthouse which was constructed in 1885. It is a popular destination for coastal walks, rock pooling, and kids' playtime with shower facilities available for visitors. Additionally, the beach boasts a great playground near the entrance for children to enjoy.
Beautiful place for some mandatory beach play time, sand castles, rock pools and sea swimming.
It has a great play ground near the entrance.
The car park is pay and display with a mixture of grass and gravel parking.

Yellowcraig Beach - North Berwick
Fabulous beach - clean and so unspoilt. With sand dunes. Beautiful views over the sea to little islands. Great for families as grassed parking is nearby (lots if locals were having picnics and simply playing) and just a few yards to the sand dunes. Clean toilets and even a refreshment van nearby. Not commercialised. Whilst we were there the Household Cavalry brought their horses along for exercise on their way from Edinburgh back to London - that’s how beautiful the beach is.

Dependent on the tide the water is clean - it can be filled with bird feathers from nearby isle, Fidra, at times.
Toilet facilties are good with no smell - best I've came across for Scottish beaches. Hopefully council continue to maintain them.
External shower pressure should be improved and moss/algae growth on shower wall removed/jetwashed. Maybe add 2 more showers for peak times.
Make sure you have change for parking as mobile signal is barely existent.

Lovely wee find just along from North Berwick, plenty of good parking, there is a charge for non blue badge holders but not sure what, public toilets were fine and even have a few showers on the side of the building to wash you or the dog off, as well as an ice cream van for those hot days . it is a short walk down to the beach but once there beach is great, definitely added to the day trip list.

My daughter and I visited Yellowcraig Beach on our way from North Berwick to Gullane Beach. It was a lovely spot, with a long sandy beach and a view of the island of Fidra. We had a great time exploring the rock pools and the dunes, and we saw a beautiful heron hunting in a sea pool. The beach was quiet and peaceful, and we felt very close to nature. We also enjoyed the playground and the picnic area nearby. It was a nice stop on our journey, and we would love to come back again.

I stopped in one Friday afternoon and was greeted by a lovely lady. I asked about the town for I was only there for a few hours. She gave me suggestions, allowed me to walk around the church and even relax for a bit and play a piano in the main area when you enter. I had at that point been away from home in Kentucky for two weeks, and it was so nice to play music and worship our Father who knows no distance from us.

If you're on holiday in North Berwick this is the church to go to,especially of you have children or infants,and even teenagers!
The place is full of acceptance and friendliness and makes you
More than welcome.
Not only that but the worship is meaningful and modern without being 'happy clappy'.
A good message is always preached,which applies Biblical truth to our everyday experience.

The lobster hatchery is located near to the Seabird Centre on the headland projecting into the Forth. It raises lobsters from eggs to a size which is viable enough to be released back into the sea.
The hatchery is fascinating and you can see tiny lobsters swirling around in tanks at the hatchery, with lots of information about them. It fulfills a conservation purpose supporting the lobster populations in the sea.
Cynically one could say that it ensures a ready supply for fishermen and the restaurants nearby. But it's well worth visiting, go and take a look!

The Abbey Church is a stunning place of worship, brimming with rich historical significance. Visitors are greeted warmly by the friendly congregation and are provided with tulips that adorned the church during Easter service. The interior is spacious and thoughtfully arranged, accommodating individuals and families alike. The atmosphere is relaxed, allowing worshippers to fully immerse themselves in the experience.

The Brand Family, East Fortune Farm, is a picturesque farm offering a range of activities and products. The family-run farm shop showcases an array of locally sourced produce, including their own beautifully reared pork. Visitors can also enjoy luxurious self-catering properties on the 830-acre arable farm and partake in farm tours, bushcraft, and foraging activities. Guests rave about the warm welcome from the staff and the delectable meat products available at the shop.
We had a great time when here and would recommend, it is a fantastic place to come for a quite break, big pitch sizes and not cramped in and free WiFi.
No showers or toilet facilities but didn't bother us we always use our own when away, great Central location with lots to do in the area, shops close by a Tesco just 5 mins along the road. The staff were very helpful and friendly and were on hand to answer any questions, late check out too of 12 noon.

This caravan park promotes peace and tranquility.
What it doesn’t advise is that it is in the planning process to become a theme park. Duplicating the one in Dunbar with mini train track a fort with slide etc..it will have over 500 cars visiting daily in the summer. Hardly peaceful and tranquil. It runs a monthly market which is ok. It also has a very small but expensive farm shop which sells some delicious award winning lamb.
Due to the changes to accommodate the new theme park it is very busy with lorries dropping of hard core etc.. sad as it did used to be peaceful and tranquil.
