Rangers coastal walk, Gullane to North Berwick

Gullane

Slow-paced walk along beaches and coastal paths, with your Ranger guide pointing out the wildlife along the way

Date: Thursday September 4th, 2025

Time: 9.30 am – 1.30 pm (2 pm return by bus)

Meet: Main Street, Gullane

With: East Lothian Council Countryside Rangers

With the wind at our backs and the sun in our faces (availability permitting), this 7-mile one-way, coastal walk will take us past beaches, rocky outcrops, islands and caves.

Your Countryside Ranger guide will point out interesting wildlife along the way from things washed up on the strandline to birds migrating overhead.

We will be walking mainly along beach and path terrain, with some short sections over rock. We will go at a fairly easy pace – the slower we go, the more we see!

What to bring

Participants should bring suitable clothing for the weather conditions and sturdy footwear. Bring a drink a packed lunch.
