Look out Puffin Burrow guests!

TWO young puffins have been rescued from North Berwick – and residents are now being asked to keep an eye out for more of the birds.

Please lend your support to this petition if you enjoy a holiday let in the UK. It’s going to make staycations much less affordable

Reverse Government plans to abolish the Furnished Holiday Lettings tax regime - please sign this petition!

This is in addition to the survey you may have already signs, but is no less important. If more than 10,000 sign this petition, it must be debated by the UK Parliament.

Furnished Holiday Lets (self-catering businesses) contribute a huge amount to local economies. They support jobs (cleaners, property managers, plumbers, etc.) and provide thousands of customers to local shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions.

The sector represents £1bn in Scotland alone.

The UK Government must reverse its plans to abolish the FHL tax regime and support this vital sector.

Please share and sign. It takes less than a minute. Thank you.

It was with great sadness, I witnessed the damage to North Berwick harbour wall after the storms this October. The wall dates back to more than 150 years ago. If you treasure North Berwick harbour as much as I do or simply want to help preserve a beautiful historic structure that provide shelter to this day, please help donate to repair. Thank you.

Weʼre raising money to help fund strengthening work and repairs around North Berwick harbour.. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.
