Description:

This stunning, rugged stretch of the Scottish coast was shaped by ancient volcanic eruptions. The reserve boasts dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and is a favorite spot for bird watchers. Seals, dolphins, and even the occasional whale can be seen, while traces of an Iron Age settlement and remnants of a 7th-century Christian community founded by a Northumbrian princess add to its rich history. Discover more about the wildlife, geology, and past of St Abb’s Head at the Nature Centre.
