Power of Scotland

Power of Scotland

Aberlady Bay is a bay in East Lothian, Scotland between Aberlady and Gullane. In 1952, Aberlady Bay became the UK's first Local Nature Reserve (LNR). The total area of the reserve is 582 hectares or 1,439 acres, though two thirds of this is sand, mudflats and salt marsh falling below the high tide mark. Aberlady Bay is part of the John Muir Way, a long distance footpath from Fisherrow (Musselburgh) to Dunglass. It is also the East Lothian Section of the transnational North Sea Trail, a path network connecting seven countries and 26 areas.

The reserve looks out west along the south side of the Forth Estuary and distant views include Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh with the Pentland Hills to its south, and a little more closely the chimneys of the Cockenzie Power Station. North across the Forth lies the coast of Fife.
