Gullane Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

I love Gullane beach, but it can get very busy in the summer. The water quality is very good here and it’s good to swim in. Along the bents you may see deer too. Toilets are at the beach also.

Yellowcraig is a natural cove with a large sandy beach, clear water and rock pools to explore. From the beach, you get fantastic views over Fidra Island, the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island.
