Just had a fab trip on a R.I.B..[Rigid Inflatable Boat!] On the "Three Islands Seabird Seafari!" Would highly recommend it. The guide on the boat was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and willing to answer your questions. The boat was alot more comfortable than I thought. Took plenty of photos. Got lucky with the weather. Which is at the hands of mother nature. Would definitely recommend it as youre also supporting a good cause...in terms of the conservation of birds.

They have boat tours for different places like Isle of May (options of landing trips as well), Bass Rock trips (options for landings as well). Well managed and very friendly with great enthusiasm to show the nature and birds on island. I took Bass rock trip, it was super awesome. Charges for boat trip is very competitive. Staff is very courteous and knowledgeable.

We did one of the boat tours - 1 hour around two islands- and it was fun. My 3 kids liked it. Watch for bird poop! Crazy amount of birds in early July

Went there to experience the RIB boat 3 safari island tour. What an experience! Very interesting and a thrilling ride when the RIB went fast.

On Thursday, 24th July 2025, we booked a birdwatching experience with the Scottish Seabird Centre in North Berwick. As we were visiting my son Kiro at St Andrews University, we took public transport to the centre and boarded one of their boats. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We saw the islands of Craigleith and Bass Rock, where we were amazed to see thousands of birds nesting together in large colonies. The sight was truly impressive, and learning about the lighthouse's history added an extra layer of fascination. What struck most was how close we were able to get to the birds, it felt almost magical. To our delight, we even spotted a puffin, which was such a highlight. A truly mesmerising experience. If you are visiting this part of Scotland, we highly recommend booking one of these trips, it is unforgettable.

DId not get time to go on a tour, but explored the point and the gift shop! Nice selection of keepsakes for adults and children alike.

Fantastic 3 island boat tour, fun facts flying at us left and right from a brilliant guide, she took the time to point out lots of cool stuff and knew heaps about the sea birds. Do wear a waterproof though!

Top of the North Berwick Law it gives a beautiful bird eye view of North Berwick, lovely path to walk on the top if anyone want to walk through the path or walk through the stiff bit of stones… Which ever you choose top of the hill is amazing, especially if it is bright sunny day… Stunning view of the Island near by.

Stunning views await from a surprisingly accessible climb. Due to its shape of shear on the town and sea side of the law to shallower on the country side you get a pleasant walk with great verticality ultimately. We went in fine but windy weather, I wouldn’t attempt it in rain

The Law absolutely is one of the best views I have ever seen. When I was sitting on the cliffs and watching back down there, the golden fields, the magnificent clouds, the warm sunshine, the yellowish grasses—they all together formed a spectacular view. You must travel to this place if you’re travelling to Berwick. It’s perfect for me. Recommended.

North Berwick Law offers stunning panoramic views of the area. From the top you can see the coast line, the town, various islands and fields. On a clear day you can see right across the Firth of Forth to the Fife Coast. Parking is free, there were plenty of spaces when I visited on a sunny Friday in April. There are information boards and picnic benches, but no facilities. North Berwick Law looks high but it wasn’t as tough going as it looked.

A good exhausting climb to the top of the hill. The views from the top are worth the effort! North Berwick Law is a conical volcanic plug and a popular landmark in East Lothian, Scotland, that offers panoramic views of the surrounding area and Firth of Forth. Formed over 300 million years ago, it's now a prominent crag-and-tail formation sculpted by glaciers. The summit is capped by a replica whale jawbone, a WWII bunker, and a path provides an accessible way to the top, making it a popular destination for locals and tourists. The grasslands are home to unique plant species, and the bare rock provides a habitat for specialized mosses and lichens. Exmoor ponies are sometimes used to graze the area to maintain the grassland.

Amazing place,beautiful view reaching the top,easy ascent from the car park Various Trails options to reach the top

Perfectly easy and relaxing walk and beautiful views from the top and along the way. I met some horses on my way and took some pictures with a rock. Hope you enjoy the walk if you choose to try it!

Fantastic coffee shop, that lives up to the excellent reviews previous customers have left. I’m rather fussy when it comes to my coffee (those that know me generally consider me a coffee snob). I ordered a flat white with oat milk and it was perfect. I also had a slice of the banana bread, it was a reasonable sized slice and the right amount of sweetness. The interior of the cafe is rustic and unique. There is also outdoor seating overlooking an ancient disused church. Staff were friendly and efficient. I was only visiting the area but I would be a regular visitor if I lived closer. If you like a decent coffee I can strongly recommend giving this place a try.

Lovely staffs , good taste of coffee, and pastries 🥐 cake ,even have a few lists , clean toilets. Nice out door spaces, indoor have a plug for Mobile charger but laptop not allowed. Highly recommend if you come to North Berwick

We were on a day trip to visit the coast and stopped in for a quick coffee before our train ride back to Edinburgh. They have a large outdoor seating area with lots of furry friends. We enjoyed a hot mocha that was served with love! It was one of the best coffees we had on our trip.

Perhaps my favourite place for a cup of coffee. Bohemian feel, with a great little terrace to hang out in the sun. Excellent coffee, which is roasted on site. Pick a favourite and they will grind you some to take home.

Went in on a Sunday morning. Quite a busy cafe and lots of cyclists stopping in for their morning coffee. Dog friendly was good to see and seating inside and outside. Could be a bit crowded if raining and when we were there, there was a bit of a queue for the loo. Would go again.

Might be the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever had! Oh my godfathers. You know when you order a hot chocolate and get chocolate milk with 158 spoons of sugar? Well this is NOT that. Sprinkles of chocolate on top that taste like they were made for a Mayan Princess, and a drink that is just chocolate, warm flavoursome rich chocolate with depth of flavour and a hint of salt and, and, I don't have the words to do it justice, best go and try one ASAP!!

It was the worst cup of flat white I have had a for a long time. We basically got two cups of very hot milk infused with coffee which tasted of nothing. It was so bad that we left most of it. They have a very cool name but their coffee is a joke. I suggest visiting a proper coffee shop to check how it should be done.

North Berwick has two beautiful beaches. Milsey Bay Beach is the East version. It was a lovely day to walk and enjoy this beach. It was not too busy, but then I was out of season. There is a tidal pool which is great for children and families. The water looked so clean and healthy. For us, we walked as far as the golf course and back, thoroughly enjoyable.

Absolutely lovely place just to sit and reset, I took my daughter there and she loved the tranquility of the place. We managed to find some sea glass as well, which was nice

Serene sand beach in North Berwick. Thrilling light reflections created by the pool next to the west border that amazingly combinate with the loneliness of Bass rock island. Really large and quite wide, no problem to find a place for your umbrella even on the peak of summer.

Lovely long sandy beach with good views. Large shallow paddling pool for younger children. Close to the busy scenic harbour which has boat trips to the famous Bass Rock and it's gannet and other sea bird colonies. Short walk into the town centre which has plenty of amenities for food and drink. Parking is very busy as expected when close to the beach areas. North Berwick became a fashionable holiday resort in the nineteenth century because of its two sandy bays, the East (or Milsey) Bay and the West Bay, and continues to attract holidaymakers. Golf courses at the ends of each bay are open to visitors. Boat trips to the Bass Rock, Fidra and other islands, although landings are restricted and depend on maritime conditions. Scottish Seabird Centre – Visitor centre about seabirds found on Bass Rock and elsewhere, opened in 2000 by then-Prince Charles.

Lovely dog friendly beach, great scenery , ice cream, coffee shops, quirky sights.

Enjoy a 2 hour walk round trip, on a clear day and must be on the ebbing to low tide, along the shore coastal path below the Glen Golf club course. If you go at least half way, so round the cliff head, the views of Bass rock get better and better and some small beaches are exposed. Return and enjoy the fresh fish at the Rocketeer in the harbour

North Berwick has for a long time been a firm family favourite for Aunts, Uncles, Mums, Dad's, kids and now their kids. Fabulous beaches, great town centre with many fabulous quirky shops. Excellent eating houses ( except for the chippy that charges a tenner for a fish supper!! ) The only thing that let's it down is a lack of parking spaces oh, and a jobsworth council worker who works at the toilet car park. Eejit woman. Would thoroughly recommend you come here for a visit. We regularly drive the 40 miles to get there for our day on the beach.

Though a small museum, it was a goldmine of information about North Berwick, and the Bass Rock. Very educational and lots of interesting things to see. The two lassies behind the front desk were very knowledgeable, and happy to help.

Great place to find out local info of the area situated within the local library..1 floor up..it has a lift so is very accessible.

Always interesting to get the local history of places we visit. Lovely modern museum and a wide variety of displays. Helpful friendly staff too.

Our first visit to the museum and it was great. There is so much information about North Berwick and the surrounding area that we'll have to continue our visits here. The invigilator was very informative and pleasant, he made our visit feel quite relaxed.

Very interesting museum, covering all aspects of North Berwick and its local area: Golf, witches, railway, churches, tourism, shipping, fishing, geology, Bass Rock, wildlife and much more. Spacious, well laid out, professional, a friendly and enthusiastic welcome.

An excellent museum. Packed with interesting exhibits and information.

Great experience and very warm welcome by the volunteer guides, thanks a lot !

We've visited the Lobster Shack several times now and it's always so fresh and tasty. Recent order included the lobster and crab roll (mouth-watering and full of meaty filling), half grilled lobster with chips (garlic butter was divine) and fish tacos (big thumbs up!). And to top it off, there are plenty of benches around to enjoy your scran with a sea view. Perfect!

Excellent place to stop for some lobster. Long queues but well worth the wait. Great food at reasonable prices. Just make sure to get there in good time as they sell out quick. Thank you.

Superb seafood and plenty of seating around to enjoy it. I recommend the seafood chowder which was so fresh tasty and very generous in the amount of seafood in the chowder itself. They have a good system where you order pay and wait a very short time with a buzzer

We had lobster and chips - delicious. The lobster was really fresh. Half a lobster (you get half a body/tail and 2 claws!) for £29.95 - not cheap but worth the experience. Will try others on the menu next time.

Nice stop for fish and chips, area to sit and eat isn't too great but it's fine for a quick stop to have your fish and chips. Fish is super fresh and perfect.

We had the fish and chips and the fish tacos both were delicious. I would definitely recommend going here if you're in north Berwick. We sat outside eating our food in the harbour.

Some of the best seafood ive ever had. Absolutely outstanding. I will definitely be back, its a shame I live in Edinburgh or id be here all the time. Highly recommend

We cannot say enough good things about Herringbone. We arrived to North Berwick later in the evening on a Monday night when not many other restaurants were still open. Herringbone was able to accommodate us for food and drinks just before their kitchen closed. We got the steak and butternut squash, both of which were delicious. Everything was so good we came back for dinner the next night. We got tasty cocktails and the fish sandwich and curry chicken. Again we had spectacular food and great service. We will definitely return on any future trips to North Berwick!

Came for a family dinner and had a lovely night. Staff are faultless- super friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was great with nice live music that wasn’t overly loud. We had some bread and hummus and olives for starters and I had the gnocchi for main which was absolutely delicious. Had a raspberry margarita which was great as well. The lamb and chicken mains also looked amazing and such huge portions! Can’t recommend enough, will definitely come back if in the area again!

Booked a table for 13:00 hrs four people. Order was taken 13:10hrs. The menu online is not the same as the restaurant itself. There was several things missing like salmon, spaghetti and a few other important ingredients missing from the menu. Considering there's a co-op 3 doors down which I'm pretty sure they sold salmon spaghetti ect. Anyways after waiting 1 hour 15 minutes for my starter I asked the waiter why ut took so long, his reply was there's only 2 chefs. Firstly the place was quiet when we arrived, and saying thers only 2 chefs is a cop out. Anyways when the food arrived the curry was meaningless, the rice was stodgy and overcooked, the chip's where cold the chicken was as tuff as leather. The stripped steak slices where of a strange colour, look the whole experience was a complete disaster. And I mentioned this to the waitress when she asked if everything was ok. But I still paid over £100 and left most of our meal. Never again felt so ripped off 😪

I had been to the Abbeyhill one but this was my first visit here. Ambience and service great. We were here only for a short one-course lunch each. I had the chowder which was excellent as was my friend’s salmon burger. Would come back for a longer stay for sure.

The service was really good, really nice waiters. I had the mussels (which comes with a tiny piece of bread) and they were amazing but then the lamb was really dry and bland and the couscous type of salad is really cold so bare that in mind. I must say the burger of the day was super good. Overall it was a bit expensive for what it is but the waiters were lovely.

Great Herringbone standards have been met! Friendly service, tasty burgers, cold beers! Can't wait to be back!

The Scottish scallops were amazing! Perfectly paired with the mashed sweet potatoes. The day’s soup was also very good. Very happy with our meal here.

A really lovely family run Italian restaurant. You are greeted at the door like a long lost friend. The service was very good and friendly, plenty of genuine smiles. It's a small menu which changes every couple of weeks. All cooked to order. The fish of the day Rock Bass was excellent. This is a small restaurant with about 30 covers and you definitely need to book quite a long way in advance. A most enjoyable evening and one we will try to repeat.

Have eaten here a few times now and it's always delightful. Incredibly friendly and helpful waiters, and exceptional food. Highly recommend.

Loved their homemade tagliolini tossed with courgettes and chestnut mushrooms on a pecorino cheese fondue! Al dente, aromatic, and creamy, silky in the mouth. A genuine delight to have lunch here followed by a nice beach walk. Good location, too. Good recommendation of rose. We felt welcome and the front-of-house was flawless to complement such talented kitchen team. Super good value for money for their 3-course lunch menu.

I visited North Berwick last week and asked my hosts to book a good restaurant for us. They did and it was GOOD. It ranks as one of the best I have ever dined in. Unfortunately we didn’t have a photograph taken there so the photo’ was taken whilst having a nightcap.

Quite simply one of the nicest meals I’ve had for a long time. The staff were attentive but also eminently approachable. Just lovely restaurant with lovely staff. Don’t forget to have the whisky barrel aged grappa at the end😀

12 of us sat down for dinner, and the owner says someone else has the reservation. I made this reservation earlier in the year and confirmed by phone in August. I have this written down. The owner claims folks coming on Wednesday night then asked for Friday and had our space. Sleazy at best, more likely plain dishonesty at this establishment. The owner claims this is all our opinion. Don’t trust their phone or email.

The rose-red slices of raw beef fillet are cut expertly thin, almost translucent, and streaked with fat. Yet this carpaccio is so soft, so melty, so full of feels in the mouth, I come perilously close to abandoning my principles. It’s drizzled with taleggio cheese fondue, lighter and less ripe than hoped for, closer to a mild cream. Dessert is a perfect tiramisu, all unending (and unfinishable) ruffles of cream and savoiardi soaked in booze.

Lovely atmosphere and fabulous view. The food was kinda okay, nothing great to be honest but the service was lovely. Definitely worth the visit for the view, I would go again and try out their drinks next time! Book in advance to get a nice window seat.

No food taken but menu looks goid. Busy on Sunday lunchtime - booking essential i would say. Great views and coastal walking g opportunities. Sauna looks like fun!! Next time!!

This isn't my first visit, but everything about the place makes it worth the two and a bit hour drive from Newcastle. On this visit I had the salmon poke bowl which had generous cubes of smoked salmon rather than the usual sliced salmon which gave a totally different flavour and texture. The service was great as was the atmosphere and the view.

Make sure you book!! Always busy and rightfully so!! Great Scottish breakfast, not the cheapest but one of the best. Stunning views. The team in their work so hard and the service was excellent. We have been a few times and can highly recommence

Horrible food but Great to have a scone and tea/coffee , Waitress could smile more but they were nice !!! We ordered chips and french toast, bacon u get only fat and full of oil everything . But view is stunning. Overpriced tho !!!

Myself and my sister visited Drift Cafe after seeing it on Instagram. It did not disappoint. The entire surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. Like something out of a film. We felt we were a million miles from our stresses and worries. We noticed a sauna on site which we’d definitely try in future. There are also little benches which would be perfect for taking in the scenery. The cafe itself was busy which we expected but we were still able to get seated. It was clear that most people are keen to take a window seat given how stunning the views are. The staff were so lovely and very welcoming, making us feel right at home. We arrived after 3pm so were unable to get hot food. However, we had a coffee and cake. The coffee was really nice and the cake was delicious and the portion was big. We even took another two away with us! The types of cakes on offer included combinations like cinnamon and plum, orange and blackberry, so not your usual plain cakes. I really loved the fact that the menu was so vast and it appeared to have seasonal touches too, making this cafe even more special. There’s no wifi but we loved the little sign suggesting you talk to one another as was the case before wifi was around! Neither of us wanted to leave and we felt totally calm and at peace there. We noticed they have some items for sale such as candles, jams and books plus a map of Scotland and a guide of the surrounding areas which was a lovely added touch. It definitely seemed the type of place you’d want to explore and the cafes location is perfect. It’s the kind of place you’d enjoy visiting in all types of weathers. We love quaint scenic cafes, especially coastal ones, and this one was magnificent! We can’t wait to come back again and have already recommended it to our friends and family.

This was my second time by Drift, first was in February 2020. Now the weather was absolutely beautiful, so we could enjoy the delicious coffee and cake just out side. Place with an amazing view. The big windows inside give you the opportunity to look at the see while sipping your coffee in super cosy atmosphere during the cold days.
