With 2 golf courses in Dunbar and many other courses in East Lothian, the golfer is well catered for.
Other popular attractions in the area are visits to castles, bird watching, walking and sub-aqua diving, windsurfing, traction kiting, and kitesurfing.

We can help you plan your day for local events and places of interest...some other examples include the magnificent Tantallon Castle, Glenkinchie Whisky Distillery & North Berwick Scottish Seabird Centre   with boat trips around the Bass Rock or why not visit the new Concorde experience at the Scottish Museum of Flight . In August the world famous Edinburgh Festival and Military Tattoo.
