Scotland East Coast Guide Scotland's east coast is one of the richest areas of the UK's coastline, in terms of landscape, habitats and wildlife. Along its length you will find a wealth of stunning coastal views, secluded villages, unspoilt beaches and rich wildlife habitats to visit. As well as two of the UK's most dynamic cities - Edinburgh, to the south and Aberdeen, in the north of the region
The coast of Scotland is amazing in terms of its environment and length - with its twisting, convoluted shape and myriad of islands, there is a great deal of coastline to explore. It is estimated that 60% of the total UK coastline lies within Scotland's borders. This represents around 6000 miles of coast, taking into account all of the off-shore islands - the total length of the UK's coast is estimated to be around 11,300 miles. So a rough estimate would suggest that around 50% of Scotland's coast lies within the western sector and 50% in the eastern sector - which would work out at around 3000 miles of coast in each sector, plenty to visit. See map below. To look for Scotland east coast hotels, guest houses and cottages - see the resort pages.
Transportation The east coast of Scotland is well served by the road network - the A9 serves most of the area and is a good through route to the far north. The A90 spurs off at Perth to take you to Aberdeen and Fraserburgh.
