“Best place we've ever stayed!”

Reviewed 3 weeks ago for a stay in September 2017

We were in Scotland so I could do family history research, and I chose this cottage because it was located in the area where some of my ancestors, who were farm laborers, had lived. Life in a converted 18th-century barn was the closest I could come to living as they did. I anticipated rustic, but what we found was a...

East Lothian is the ancient home of golf. You’ll find some of the great links and parkland courses of the world here, including the world famous Muirfield Links.

Known as the garden of Scotland, you can savour delicious fresh local produce, as well as seafood specialities in East Lothian’s delicatessens, restaurants and cafes. Look out for the farmers’ markets in Haddington and the quarterly Food Festival at North Berwick, where you can try some of the best food and drink to be found in East Lothian. And don’t forget to sample Scotland’s national drink at the five star Glenkinchie Distillery.

Beaches and Walks
There is plenty of golden sand in East Lothian. Probably the best beaches are Gullane, Seacliff, just past Tantallon Castle on the other side of North Berwick, Yellowcraig, near Dirleton and Freshwater Haven, in which the action in Robert Louis Stevenson's book 'Pavilion on the Links' is set, just the other side of Muirfield golf course.

Boat Trips
There are two boat trips available from North Berwick harbour; to Fidra (the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island') and to the Bass Rock. The Bass Rock is a paradise for ornithologists who will see gannet, guillemot, razorbill, puffin, shag, kittiwake and fulmar. You should go. It is a volcanic rocky crag and one time prison, standing guard on the southern coast of the First of Forth. A trip round it will take about one hour by boat piloted by the Marr family (Tel 892838). If you arrange it in advance you can land on them both.
Edinburgh - Scotland's Capital City.30 minutes drive is Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city, reflecting the history; culture and personality of the nation.
