North Berwick
A Royal Burgh in East Lothian. The name North Berwick means North 'barley farmstead'. Bere in Old English means 'barley' and wic in Old English is 'farmstead'.
The word North was applied to distinguish this Berwick from Berwick-upon-Tweed, which throughout the Middle Ages the Scots called South Berwick. It was recorded as Northberwyk in 1250
A very pleasant and tranquil town not far from Edinburgh. A splendid beach, an interesting and sometimes challenging links golf course and now with its own immensely popular visitor attraction, the Scottish Seabird Centre.
North Berwick also boasts a famous island - the Bass Rock and a castle near by - Tantallon
I have enjoyed visiting North Berwick for many years and am pleased to have produced the North Berwick calendar for 2007.
The North Berwick calendar is one of a series of Scottish calendars which can be personalised for business, cub and association promotions
