Canty Bay

Canty Bay

Canty Bay is a coastal hamlet in East Lothian, Scotland, halfway between Glen Golf Club and the hamlet of Auldhame, off the A198.The golf club is close to its western side, and to the east there are high coastal cliffs. There are two beaches separated by a rocky headland. The western beach is uninhabited and accessible by two paths that descend the grass covered cliffs from the eastern end of the Glen golf course. The eastern beach is by the hamlet.

This former fishing hamlet has been immortalised by William McGonagall in his poem "Beautiful North Berwick and its surroundings".

Canty Bay is opposite the Bass Rock, and the Canty Bay Inn offered hospitality to the many tourists who came to see the Rock. The tenant of the Rock was usually also the innkeeper.
