The Essential East Lothian Day Trip | Exploring Alba

Ahead of the summer holidays, and in anticipation of an influx of visitors to the region, I’ve put together a short guide to an amazing day trip around East Lothian.

In this guide I’ll share with you some of the towns, cafés, beaches, walks, and lesser known areas I’ve come to love after a couple of years exploring the area. I hope this guide will help you appreciate East Lothian in the same way as those of us lucky enough to call it home.

Those disclaimers, again. I’m not an expert and haven’t done everything. I’m not being paid or compensated in any way to say these things, all my own opinions. I’m focusing on the coast intentionally. This day trip is based entirely around public transport, primarily East Coast Bus #124.

This guide was shot on an iPhone 11. Drone footage kindly supplied by Cheyne. Special thanks to Sandra for the photo of Tyninghame and to Chris for introducing me to a couple of those gems in Dunbar. Edited in Lumafusion.
