Yellowcraig is a natural cove with a large sandy beach, clear water and rock pools to explore. From the beach, you get fantastic views over Fidra Island, the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island.

Hiking

Once you reach the beach, head right to walk pretty much all the way to North Berwick or left towards the back of Archerfield. There’s a rock there which is perfect for a sit down and views of Fidra.
