North Berwick
North Berwick is a seaside community as well as former royal burgh in East Lothian, Scotland. It is located on the south coast of the Firth of Forth, around 20 miles (32 km) east-northeast of Edinburgh. North Berwick came to be a trendy vacation resort in the 19th century as a result of its 2 sandy bays, the East (or Milsey) Bay and the West Bay, as well as continues to draw in holidaymakers. Golf courses at the ends of each bay are open to site visitors. The size and also populace of the community continued to be fairly consistent up until the 1970s, whereupon housebuilding began in earnest around the perimeter of the community, initially to the south (1950s-- 70s), after that a series of significant expansions to the west (1980s-present) along the line of the train. There is talk of additional developments focussing on "economical real estate" on the south side of the town. While the population could not have really "took off", residence prices have. North Berwick consistently appears at the top of national home cost surveys, and like-for-like costs are comparable to Edinburgh. North Berwick was noted as the most expensive seaside community in Scotland in 2006, and was 2nd to St. Andrews in 2009.
