Scotland's best-kept secret: our perfect DAY TRIP IN EAST LOTHIAN!

Looking for ideas for day trips from Edinburgh? Do I have a treat for you my peeps: last weekend we ventured to East Lothian, a land of magnificent beaches, wonderful cafes, stunning food and the most photogenic views, and within only a couple of hours we managed to discover a whole handful of hidden gem spots, just an hour's drive away from Edinburgh!
I should be careful recommending East Lothian to travellers to Scotland as I believe many Edinburgh (and beyond!) locals treat it as their own little weekend drive secret!
Have you ever been to East Lothian? Do you have a favourite eatery or cafe in the area? And most importantly: what is your favourite East Lothian beach?
If you haven't been, stick around and we'll take you to all of our favourite Scottish spots!

    Been following you for four years now as I am Edinburgh raised myself, so have loved to see local content about the city. I must say (I’m only 15) but in the years of memories from this place, most fond do I think of my trips to East Lothian. Whether that be my primary school leavers party on Yellowcraigs, a Fringe By The Sea concert with my pals in North Berwick, playing golf for the first time at Dunbar, seeing the Concorde at the Flight Museum, parties at Archerfield, trying a bostock cruffin during covid, chippie pitstop on the drive home or way too many times to count going to Foxlake. It’s all coming back to me and im pure gushing in this comment section. Not in Edi currently but I miss it so much. Take me home ❤

    How about around Kinross? Plenty of eats in the town, Heaven Scent in Milnathort (lovely cafe/people), and Loch Leven's Larder 10mins away. Loch Leven, RSPB, castle/history, scenery, blah, blah.

    Hi Kat much thanks for your kind response. Since this would be the first time visiting Edinburg we would definitely be checking out the Royal mile and keeping in mind the list of fun places that you made a video off the cosy tea rooms and cafes for lunches. Where do you suggest we should visit not having to travel too far off from the city. Thank you

    Fidra island ,just of Yellowcraigs beach ,was the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous book Treasure Island . The Stevenson family were famous lighthouse builders.

    Well, that was an eye-opener. What a beautiful place and only a stone"s throw from Edinburgh. The unspoilt, largely empty beaches reminded me of Northumberland. Must be very dramatic when the weather is fithy.

    I’ve only been to Northumberland very briefly but I think you’re right! Must be that East Coast vibe ✨ we’re looking into a north east England trip this year so hopefully will have more insight by the end of 2024 .)

    A bit of a random question maybe, but do you have any recomendations for podcasts, audiobooks or radio shows where the host/voice actor has a Scottish accent? I want to get used to the accent before I move there and I have a bit of a hard time finding what to listen to 😊 I love your videos, keep up the good work💛
