North Berwick is a picturesque seaside town on the southern shores of the Firth of Forth, where it meets the North Sea. It is 35 minutes by train from Edinburgh, close to the A1 motorway, and perfectly placed to explore the links golf courses in East Lothian. North Berwick grew as a resort in the last half of the 1800s largely because of its two sandy bays, Berwick Bay and Milsey Bay. North Berwick is overshadowed by North Berwick Law, a 187m lump of volcanic rock located on the south side of the town and visible for many miles in every direction. At the summit you find a Napoleonic signal station and an arch made from a pair of whale's jaw bones, similar to the ones overlooking Whitby harbour on the North Yorkshire coast.

In the late 14th century, they built a great stone curtain across a rocky promontory, with lofty towers and halls. Tantallon served as a noble fortification for more than 3 centuries and endured frequent sieges. During Cromwell's invasion in 1651 it suffered heavy damage. It passed into the care of the State in 1924, and is now looked after by Historic Scotland. About 2 miles east of North Berwick.
