Our growing series of heritage guides aims to tell the story of the town’s cultural heritage. The guides cover North Berwick’s lesser-known buildings and other aspects of its fascinating heritage.

You can see our guides online below, on a smartphone, tablet or computer. Or you can pick up printed copies of the guides in North Berwick Library and the Coastal Communities Museum (in School Road), the Tuck Shop (at the station) and in the Seabird Centre (by the harbour). In 2025 we also published a map of the heritage guides, with interactive QR codes giving immediate access to the guides while you're out and about in the town. The map can be picked up at the same venues as the guides themselves.

We welcome contributions to our series of heritage guides. Please get in touch if you have an idea for a new subject or would like to write a heritage guide on one of your favourite features or buildings.

We would like to thank the Library and Museum for all their help, and North Berwick Trust, the Stella Moffat Trust and Tesco Community Fund for their financial support of the heritage guides project. Huge thanks to Jonathan Best, our former Secretary. It was Jonathan’s idea originally to publish a series of heritage guides, and he not only created the template and design for the series, but has also researched and written most of the guides. Many thanks, too, to member Eddie Clark who has edited and prepared the guides for publication.
