North Berwick
With a population of just over 6000, North Berwick is small, quiet seaside town at the northern tip of East Lothian. It is home to two golf courses (the East Links and West Links), a harbour and busy highstreet with many independent, local shops. The Law Hill, an extinct, volcano glaciated in to a spectacular crag and tail, stands over the south east fringes of the town. The Scottish Seabird Centre is a popular and unique attraction, located at the harbour, which showcases the world renowned bird life on the coastline and islands offshore.

Haddington
The administrative centre of East Lothian, Haddington has a population of just over 8000 and is located only 20 minutes from Edinburgh. Sixteen kings have been to Haddington, and they can't be wrong. One of East Lothian's best picturesque and historic towns. One of only 50 towns in the UK to merit the prestigious Council of Archaeology Stamp of Preservation Approval, Haddington has no less than 284 listed buildings making it one of the best preserved 18th century towns in the country.
Dunbar
With a natural harbour protected by a large defensible outcrop of rock, Dunbar was an obvious place for early settlement along this north facing coast. The rock on which the remains of Dunbar Castle now stand has been fortified for the better part of 2000 years: and there is every chance that Dunbar itself is just as old. But if Dunbar's origins owe much to its castle, so do its later fortunes and misfortunes. The castle was repeatedly besieged from the 1200s to the 1500s, and whether or not the attackers took the castle they usually burned down the town to make the trip worthwhile. Coupled with this, its position as a handy port on the English side of Edinburgh has made it well worth capturing in its own right. This remain true as recently as September 1650, when Cromwell used it as his supply base prior to his defeat of the Scots Royalists at the Battle of Dunbar.
