North Berwick Coastal is a coastal ward in East Lothian, Scotland, centred on North Berwick and a scattering of neighbouring villages along the Firth of Forth. The geography is striking - sandy bays, rocky skerries and the famous seabird colony on Bass Rock - and the area is dotted with historic sites such as the ruined cliff-top Tantallon Castle, making it popular with walkers, birdwatchers and golfers.
The local economy leans heavily on tourism, hospitality and leisure, with attractions like the Scottish Seabird Centre and several long‑established courses drawing visitors, while many residents commute to Edinburgh. Community life balances a strong conservation interest in coastal habitats and wildlife with the everyday concerns of a semi‑rural, outward‑facing population.
