North Berwick
North Berwick is a seaside community and also previous royal burgh in East Lothian, Scotland. It is positioned on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, roughly 20 miles (32 kilometres) east-northeast of Edinburgh. North Berwick became a stylish vacation resort in the nineteenth century because of its two sandy bays, the East (or Milsey) Bay as well as the West Bay, and continues to bring in holidaymakers. Golf links at the ends of each bay are open to site visitors. The dimension and also populace of the community continued to be relatively stable up until the 1970s, at which point housebuilding began in earnest around the periphery of the town, first to the south (1950s-- 70s), then a series of major developments to the west (1980s-present) along the line of the railway. There is talk of more growths concentrating on "economical real estate" on the south side of the town. While the population might not have really "exploded", residence rates have. North Berwick continually shows up on top of nationwide home rate studies, as well as like-for-like costs approach Edinburgh. North Berwick was listed as one of the most expensive seaside community in Scotland in 2006, and also was 2nd to St. Andrews in 2009.
