See why this Scottish high street was dubbed one of the 'loveliest' in the UK

An "atmospheric" high street in a popular Scottish seaside town has been dubbed one of the "loveliest" in the UK.

North Berwick in East Lothian was named in a list featuring other UK locations like Greenwich in London and Narberth in Pembrokeshire.

Introducing the list, The Times said: "These high streets will go on to survive and thrive over the next few years."

If you want to know why North Berwick was the only Scottish town named on the list, here is everything that was said about the location.

Discussing the coastal town of North Berwick in Scotland, The Times said: "Footfall was already good on the high street of coastal North Berwick — it increased after a new, local 'Town Centre First' project — but it’s better than ever post-Covid now that we’ve all realised that we do want to be beside the seaside.

"Stop at peaceful Paper Flower for handmade cards and gifts (37 High Street) and family-owned Norden for hip homewares (norden.online) or put your pet first and shop at Barker & Bone, a designer boutique for the discerning dog (and cat) owner (47 High Street).
