A POPULAR East Lothian town has been named one of the top foodie breaks in the UK by a prestigious travel magazine.
Conde Nast Traveller looked at locations across Britain to find the best places to sample some of the "most delicious produce and ingredients".
The prominent seaside town was the only place in Scotland named on the list and featured alongside spots like Bruton in Somerset and Aberystwyth in Wales.
North Berwick named one of the top foodie breaks in the UK
North Berwick was the town in East Lothian named one of the top foodie breaks in the UK by Conde Nast Traveller.
Discussing the location, the publication said: "An hour’s drive east of Edinburgh, the seaside town of North Berwick sits on a jagged bit of the Scottish coastline that sticks up and out into the Firth of Forth.
"In the past few years, Edinburgh’s clued-up chefs have started to sweep east to this long-forgotten corner of the country, where once-struggling High Street stores are now being turned into independent bakeries and fine-dining restaurants doing a roaring trade.
"Catherine Franks, who started serving coffee from the back of an old VW camper van at Edinburgh’s Stockbridge Market, is behind cosy café Steampunk Coffee Roasters, and Bostock Bakery gained so much attention for its pastries that René Redzepi sent his assistant to learn how they’re made.
"The harbourfront Lobster Shack serves super-local fish, while NB Distillery bottles dry gins, citrus vodkas and dark rums."
It concluded: "All this, backed by wild sandy beaches overlooked by grassy banks, rolling into the chilly sea."
North Berwick has received much praise in recent months with The Times placing the town in its list of the "loveliest" high streets in the UK.
Highlighting some of the retailers in the area, the newspaper told visitors to stop in at Paper Flower for handmade cards and gifts as well as the family-owned Norden for "hip homewares".
