| Also | We found no council dog rule for this beach. The Scottish Outdoor Access Code applies: keep dogs under proper control, and on a short lead or close at heel near other people and on the shore in the bird nesting season (usually April to July). Check signs on the day. East Lothian Council asks you to keep dogs 40 to 50 metres away from shorebirds. |
