Gullane beach
10 Breezy Willow

This place is absolutely stunning and one of the top spots to witness a breathtaking sunset. Whenever I find myself in this area of Scotland, I never miss the opportunity to visit this beach.

Tyninghame Beach
10 Nela A

The beach is absolutely stunning, with numerous pathways that can lead you astray and a leisurely 15-minute stroll to reach the shore (although it may take longer if you, like us, venture all the way to the end 😅). The beauty of the beach truly shines when the sun is shining. However, parking can be a bit challenging as there are limited spaces available.
