North Berwick Law is a conical hill which looms over the town and reaches 187 metres above sea level. The Law is a volcanic plug similar to Arthur’s Seat. The summit has the remains of an Iron Age hill fort as well as the ruins of military buildings used by lookouts in time of war. A replica whale jawbone atop the Law provides a distinctive backdrop to the town.

John Muir Country Park SoSOL
Sunday 1 November 2026
John Muir Country Park suffered terribly from Storm Arwen but, now that the fallen trees have been cleared, the woodland is recovering, the path network has been opened up again and a new map of the area has been professionally produced by Dave Peel.
We will be venturing into the dunes on either side of the protected tidal marsh. These dunes are covered by spiky marram grass with a good path network on the inland side. A visit to coastal Spike Island will provide a navigational challenge for some of the more technical courses.
With Storm Arwen thinning the trees, the bracken has spread and while we reckon most of it will be starting to die back by early November, the worst of it will be indicated by a green screen on the map so that you can make navigation decisions accordingly.
