YELLOWCRAIG BEACH

NORTH BERWICK

Celebrated 19th Century Scots writer Robert Louis Stevenson was said to be inspired to write Treasure Island after witnessing the views from spectacular Yellowcraig Beach to the 1885 lighthouse on Fidra Island.

This beach is popular with local families, who we suspect would like to keep it a secret. It has a nature trail, barbecue site (which must be pre-booked with the local council) and a network of footpaths through sheltered woodlands and extensive grassland. There is a dog walk away from the sands where dog bins are provided, and the beach is good for horse riding too.
