East Lothian is often called “Scotland’s Sunshine Coast”, and it’s easy to see why. With its golden beaches, rolling farmland, and historic towns, it’s the perfect destination for a relaxing caravan holiday close to Edinburgh but a world away in pace and scenery. Whether you’re watching the waves from a clifftop walk or teeing off on a championship golf course, East Lothian offers the best of Scotland’s east coast.
Caravan parks here are often within reach of the coast — near seaside favourites like North Berwick, Dunbar, and Aberlady — or tucked into quiet countryside close to castles and nature reserves. You’ll find dramatic cliffs, world-class golf, historic houses, and loads of outdoor activities including watersports and wildlife watching. The region is also great for families, with sandy beaches, boat trips, and friendly villages full of independent shops and cafés.
For a holiday filled with fresh air, rich history, and coastal calm, East Lothian is a fantastic Scottish choice.
