Sightseeing
North Berwick is a popular seaside town a few miles away from Dunbar. It has a thriving town centre with interesting shops and great eating places (we particularly like the Herringbone restaurant). The sea life centre is well worth a visit. For golfers there are 2 great courses to play, both with spectacular sea views from many of the holes.

Tantallon castle is owned and run by Historic Scotland and well worth a visit. Afterwards (or before) visit Drift which is very close to the castle. This is a cafe built from shipping containers. As well as great food the views of the sea with the Bass rock close by are spectacular.
