    St Abb’s Head on the Berwickshire coast is a landmark site for birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts. This National Nature Reserve is home to thousands of guillemots, kittiwakes, razorbills, shags, fulmars, puffins and herring gulls nesting on narrow ledges from April to August, and the cliffs here offer a spectacular vantage point for observing their behaviour. The Head boasts a wealth of other wildlife which you can learn about at the Nature Reserve Centre, or join a ranger-guided walk and enjoy the views along the coast as you go.

    Visitor Centre: 1 Apr to 31 Oct, daily 10–5.

    Nature Reserve: daily, all year.
