Location:

At the gateway to Scotland, Woodside offers outstanding comfort & stunning coastal scenery close to the capital City of Edinburgh.

On the edge of the John Muir Country Park & historic Dunbar, there are views and walks across Belhaven Bay towards the Bass Rock.

Woodside makes an excellent base for relaxing and touring the delights of the Scottish Borders and the Lothians. Edinburgh is only a 20 minute train ride away with no driving, parking or road hassles. But if you wish to drive, the recently opened A1 expressway will take you to the city centre in about 30 to 40 minutes.

Easily accessed from the main A1 road, Belhaven is a 17th century village, famous for the brewing of Belhaven Beer and Dunbar is famous as the birth place of the world famous conservationist - John Muir.

With 2 golf courses in Dunbar (Dunbar Golf Club and Winterfield Golf Club) 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.

I 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.
