A BEAUTIFUL seaside town in Scotland where a "food revolution" is underway has been named one of the best in the UK for food lovers.
North Berwick in East Lothian, which has been praised for its great number of quality eateries, was named alongside places like Folkestone in Kent and Stockbridge in Edinburgh.
Located a half-hour train ride from Scotland's capital, it has long been a popular spot for travelling foodies.
Now the town, which was recently named a culinary hotspot by National Geographic, has featured in a new list of the best small towns every foodie needs to visit.

Discussing the well-known seaside town in Scotland, Olive said there is a "food revolution" taking place in North Berwick.
Highlighting what makes the Scottish location so great, the publication praised Steampunk Coffee Roasters and the Bostock Bakery for their wonderful pastries and flat whites.
The croissants at the latter are apparently so good that NOMA’s René Redzepi sent his pastry chef from Copenhagen to learn from The Bostock's Ross Baxter.
Because of its coastal location, the town has plenty of seafood options to enjoy as well, including the famous Lobster Shack.
The "seasonal operation" on the harbour gets its catch from the Firth of Forth Lobster Hatchery between Easter and October.
