What to do and see in North Berwick, Scotland: The Best Free Things to do

November 22, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

North Berwick (/nɔːrθ ˈbɛrɪk/; Scottish Gaelic: Bearaig a Tuath) is a seaside town and former royal burgh in East Lothian, Scotland. It is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 25 miles (40 km) north-east of Edinburgh. North Berwick became a fashionable holiday resort in the nineteenth century because of its two sandy bays, the East (or Milsey) Bay and the West Bay, and continues to attract holidaymakers. Golf courses at the ends of each bay are open to visitors.

North Berwick Law

Reviewed By dakiro - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Fantastic place to visit and have a walk. Managed to walk to the top in 40 minutes, really slowly. I think you would benefit from walking around it first and then walking to the top. Really nice area and you can see a lot from the very top. Very windy at the time, much more than at the bottom - maybe not so suitable for a smallish child for safety reasons - would need to be careful so the wind does not push them off.

Coastal Communities Museum

The Coastal Communities Museum opened in 2013. Each year the museum features a new exhibition, which generally starts-off at Easter and runs throughout the calendar year until the end of November, although check out the opening days as this varies according to the month. The museum has much to offer both adults and children. Mums and dads may be interested in some local history or gaining knowledge, while kids maybe looking forward to a fun visit, with things to do. The museum is managed and run by a team of volunteers, who rely on donations from the visiting public along with other grants to help sustain its development. Once your tour of the exhibition is complete why not purchase a Trail Leaflet and see where it takes you!

This is a wonderful cafe. Called in for coffee and so impressed with service, ambience and scones that came back for a super platter for lunch. Tailor made to suit a veggie and a carnivore. Staff of all ages were pleasant, friendly and helpful. Very dog friendly. Lots of shopping opps for food, but not interested in that.
