Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.East Lothian · Scotland · Coast
North Berwick gives you harbour atmosphere, beach walks and the option of a steeper viewpoint day. The researched accommodation is outside town: Pavilion Suites at Archerfield near Dirleton, and lodges at Whitekirk Hill. Both can suit a dog-led coastal escape, but they offer different meal and space arrangements. Treat the Law as an optional climb and keep a shorter coastal outing available.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Choose a modest beach-and-woodland outing suited to the weather. Travel to your intended start rather than assuming the whole coast must be walked from town.
Keep dogs controlled around wildlife and other beach users, follow current signs and avoid disturbing resting or nesting birds.
Official visitor information ↗Consider the signed climb only when weather, footing and your dog’s fitness suit it. A harbour stroll makes a gentler alternative.
Keep dogs close near grazing animals and on steep ground. This is a hill walk; turn back rather than pushing for the summit.
Official visitor information ↗AN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Check into the suite or lodge and confirm the dog’s meal arrangement. Enjoy a short North Berwick harbour outing if time allows.
Choose Yellowcraig for the main outing, or the Law in suitable conditions. Avoid combining both when your dog would prefer a shorter day.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
