Welcome to the Scottish Seabird Centre

The Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick is an award winning five star wildlife visitor attraction. From its stunning location overlooking the sea and sandy beaches, you'll enjoy a close encounter with nature to remember. The ultimate in remote viewing, amazing live cameras on the islands beam back live panoramas and close-ups onto giant screens at the Centre! There's an exciting Discovery Centre, Gift Shop and Cafe with open decking over the sea, talks, walks, new daily boat trips and an exciting programme of events (look out for the Wildlife & Environment Festival 14-15th June).

The nesting season is now well underway on the islands and the first chicks are expected any day! The puffins have returned to the islands and the first eider ducklings were spotted this week. The Firth of Forth is home to thousands of nesting seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes, shags, cormorants and, of course, the famous Bass Rock gannets. There is a also a large colony of grey seals in the area and you may even be lucky to see the occasional rare and spectacular sighting of dolphins, porpoises and whales.
