An alternative departure point for Isle of May trips, pairing the crossing with a look at North Berwick's own dramatic coastline and the Scottish Seabird Centre before or after sailing.
What to expect
You depart from North Berwick's harbour, passing the striking volcanic plug of the Bass Rock with its own vast gannet colony en route to the Isle of May, effectively doubling the wildlife spectacle in one crossing. Landing time on the island itself mirrors the Anstruther trips. Before or after, the Scottish Seabird Centre's live cameras and exhibits add context if weather curtails the landing.
Good to know
Check current sailing schedules as North Berwick departures are seasonal and less frequent than Anstruther; this route suits those also touring East Lothian rather than Fife. Confirm return timing carefully against your ship's departure.
