St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve.
Formed by an extinct volcano,
the Head is the best-known landmark
along the magnificent Berwickshire coast.
Home to thousands of nesting seabirds in summer, the Head also has a wealth of other wildlife and fine views along the coast. In recognition of its importance to both wildlife and people, the Head was declared a National Nature Reserve in 1983.

The offshore waters lie within a Special Area of Conservation and form part of Scotland’s only Voluntary Marine Nature Reserve.

St Abbs Head is also an excellent site for migrant birds in the spring and autumn with the occasional rare migrant turning up each year.

The nesting seabirds to be found at St.Abbs Head are guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, kittiwakes, herring gulls, shags, and a small number of puffins.

The Head is also a very important site for coastal flowers such as thrift and rockrose, which in turn attracts many butterflies, including the rare northern brown Argus.

You could go on a Clifftop Discovery trail “safari style” adventure from the comfort and security of a Land Rover, where you will be able to observe, at close quarters, the vast colonies of cliff-nesting seabirds and on occasion, the chance to see whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals. Roe deer, red squirrels and foxes are often seen from the trail.
