East Lothian is a breathtaking area, with so many magical views and great places to see for a tiny area. Spectacular sea views are almost mandatory with 40 miles of unspoiled sandy coastline and secluded beaches. Great seaside towns like North Berwick, with its iconic views of the Bass Rock out in the North Sea, as well as Mussleburgh and Haddington are sure to please all ages. Choose from some of the excellent self-catering options on this magical coastline for family holidays and really make the most of the fantastic beaches.

This is an area filled with historic attractions, so it's ideal for a romantic break. Tantallon Castle, perched on the cliffs overlooking the Bass rock is one of the most atmospheric locations, as is the hill fort of Traprain Law, the capital of the Votadini tribe back before the Bronze Age, a great place for walking and taking in the glorious countryside. With the main London - Edinburgh railway line running through the town, Dunbar is a terrific town for a short break with its picturesque location at the mouth of the Firth of Forth.
