North Berwick's scenic harbour hugs the north coast of the town, just a few minutes' walk from its colourful centre. This is a place where you can rub shoulders with puffins, kittiwakes and cormorants, or hop on a boat in search of seals and whales at sea. With an idyllic bay coastline bookended by majestic golf courses, North Berwick is one of Scotland's favourite seaside towns, and a hit with visitors too.

Just one minute from the station is the beautiful West Bay - walk its length from west to east and finish up with a well-deserved pint at The Auldhouse, a traditional 19th-century pub.

Just a few minutes' walk further up the coast is the Scottish Seabird Centre.
