Travellers and activities

East Lothian for beach lovers

East Lothian's beaches are undoubtedly its main attraction, so if you don't know which one to visit first, here are a couple of good options. The first is Belhaven Beach, located in the village of the same name, a large sandy stretch about a mile long and with incredible sea views. Here you'll find the perfect environment for long walks, sit down and have a fun family picnic, or even walk your pet while enjoying the sea breeze. Another beach you may also be interested in is Seacliff Beach, which is located in the town of North Berwick. This place stands out, as its name says, for the immense cliffs that frame it. It is ideal if you are looking for a beach that is rather quiet and away from the crowds, plus you can enjoy the unparalleled scenery of the coast. It is especially popular with picnickers, but surfers also take advantage of the waves here to practice this adventurous sport.

East Lothian for history lovers

As well as beautiful beaches, you can also find many interesting sites in East Lothian. Among the many historic attractions is the fantastic Tantallon Castle, located on the south-east coast in the town of North Berwick. It was built by the nobleman William Douglas in the mid-1300s as a fortress, and is considered to be the last great medieval castle in all of Scotland. Once you arrive you can admire the great stone walls and massive towers, which, although weather-beaten, still retain much of their original architecture. Now, another place that may also catch your eye is Newhailes House & Gardens, a Palladian-style country house built in 1686. This beautiful building is located in the town of Musselburgh, specifically in a park of approximately 80 acres. Once you tour this house, you are sure to be enchanted, especially the interior, which is beautifully decorated according to the years in which it was built. And of course, don't forget to stroll through the large and well-kept gardens, which have a very serene and calm atmosphere, perfect for unwinding for a while.

This council is known as Scotland's golf coast, due to its excellent golf courses and good weather conditions.
