The Scottish Seabird Centre is a five star award-winning wildlife visitor attraction with something for everyone. Whether you're a nature lover or just wanting to escape to recharge your batteries! It's set in a stunning location overlooking the islands of the Firth of Forth and the white sandy beaches of North Berwick. In our exciting Discovery Centre, with its amazing live state of the art cameras, you can zoom in really close on the seabirds and marine wildlife. With a Wildlife Cinema, Kids' Zone, Migration Flyway & Environment Zone, daily Seabird Seafari Boat Trips and an exciting programme of events, it's the perfect day out for everyone.

The Firth of Forth is home to spectacular seabird cities with over 300,000 seabirds, puffins, guillemots, shags, kittiwakes returning to this haven for wildlife in early spring to nest each year. See thousands of puffins from end March/ early April, springcleaning their burrows for the arrival of their new chicks, on the Isle of May and the islands of Craigleith and Fidra.

Don't miss the amazing spectacle of grey seals with their fluffy white newborn pups on the Isle of May National Nature Reserve from October to December, one of the largest grey seal colonies on the east coast of Great Britain.

There have been a large number of sightings of cetaceans, including bottlenose dolphins, Risso's dolphins, porpoises and whales including minke, pilot, fin, humpback and killer whales - you may be lucky enough to see one
