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.

Dirleton castle is a few miles drive away from Dunbar and is well worth visiting. The Archerfield estate (home of the Renaissance golf course which hosted the Scottish open in 2019) is close by and has an excellent restaurant for breakfast or lunch. They brew their own beer there!
