A picturesque seaside town in East Lothian features some of the finest beaches and coastal views in the UK — and one particular spot has been singled out for praise by tourists.
Whether you love a winter break, or are already looking ahead to the summer, December is the perfect time to plan a staycation . There is a seemingly endless list of scenic destinations all around Scotland that are perfect for a weekend getaway. However, if you have to settle on just one, it is difficult to top North Berwick in East Lothian. As reported by The Mirror , the charming seaside town has been hailed as one of the country's top destinations.
Elsewhere, Tantallon Castle and Dirleton Castle—located east and west of North Berwick respectively—are must-visits if you are a history buff. The former is dramatically perched on a cliff edge and boasts ancient dungeons and battlements, while Dirleton Castle is believed to be one of the oldest structures in Scotland. Other spots worth visiting include the Archerfield Walled Garden and North Berwick Law. The latter is a steep conical hill offering unmatched views of the surrounding area.
