How to Get Here

By Train

It makes sense to take the train to North Berwick. It's a pleasant 30 minute journey through attractive countryside. A direct and frequent service from Edinburgh and First ScotRail offers a fantastic deal - from £8.00 (adult) to include return travel and your admission to the Centre. The Centre is a pleasant 10 minute walk from the station. Follow the signs, keeping the sea on your left hand side.

NEW!!! Tourist Shuttle Bus - Free for Seabird Centre Visitors

A new Tourist Shuttle bus, No 111, has started running daily from North Berwick Train Station to the Scottish Seabird Centre, Tantallon Castle and the Museum of Flight, home of Concorde. The bus is free to visitors to the Seabird Centre who have bought the Seabird Saver combined Rail and Entry ticket. For visitors without this ticket, the bus costs from 80p upwards.

The bus stops at other key locations around North Berwick, so you can jump on and jump off and see a bit more of the attractive town and its individual shops and restaurants. Download our leaflet for more information and a timetable.
