North Berwick - General Area

[Scottie]

Location: Gin Head - North Berwick - East Lothian - Scotland
Map: Image attached
Best time of year: April Onwards gives you great positioning for Sunrises
Restrictions: Best to follow roadsigns for Tantallon Castle and use their carpark during the day (free), be aware that the carpark is closed early morning for sunrises so if safe to do so park roadside at the entrance to the carpark and take the 10 minute walk through the field towards the water, be aware of man eating partridges jumping out of bushes at 6 AM scaring the pants of you. !!

Best time of year: April/May gives you great positioning for Sunsets up the River Forth Estuary

Hope you don't mind, I thought I'd add another view of the rock, Ive also arrowed (green) where the photo was taken on your map. The photo below was taken from the roadside, parked the car on the grass verge.

Great thread, was actually thinking about heading out that way on Saturday or Sunday for sunrise (or up to Kingsbarns/Crail)

Great pics Scottie, have driven by that way a few times working at the time.:(
Would like to get some pics of Tantallon Castle though.
