Ettrick Bay

Experience history on your day at the beach, as you explore the sandy shores of Ettrick Bay near Rothesay.

This historic bay has been used to train troops for the D-day landings. Tis is your chance to step right into one of the most pivotal moments of WWII!

A lazy day at the beach is a firm family favourite - just unwind and enjoy the sun to the sound of kids playing and waves washing on the shore with a quiet “Woosh”. Want more fun? At the southern end of Ettrick Bay there's a bird hide from where you and your little explorers can spot some wonderful local birds.
