John Muir Way

A coastal path which connects the City of Edinburgh with the Scottish Borders, the John Muir Way represents the East Lothian section of the North Sea Trail which navigates the coast of the seven countries around the North Sea. Named in honour of the conservationist and founder of the US National Parks system, who was born in Dunbar in 1838, the 45-mile (73-km) route passes through a rich variety of landscapes, towns and villages. Included are sandy beaches, dunes, cliffs, notable features such as Bass Rock, North Berwick Law and the natural sandstone arches of Bilsdean, together with the historic castles including Tantallon. It passes through the John Muir Country Park in the vicinity of Belhaven Bay.
