Frances Craig is a small island located off the coast of East Lothian in Scotland. It is situated in the Firth of Forth, approximately 10 miles east of the town of North Berwick. The island is characterized by its rugged coastline, stunning views, and diverse wildlife.

Covering an area of around 60 acres, Frances Craig is primarily composed of grassland and rocky outcrops. The island is uninhabited and has no permanent structures, making it a perfect destination for those seeking tranquility and a chance to connect with nature.

The island is home to a wide range of bird species, including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills. It also serves as a breeding ground for seals, and visitors often spot them basking on the rocks or swimming in the surrounding waters.

Access to Frances Craig is limited, as there are no regular ferries or boats operating to the island. However, it is possible to arrange private boat tours or kayak trips from nearby North Berwick, allowing visitors to explore the island's natural beauty up close.

The island's picturesque landscape and abundant wildlife make it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and photographers. It offers a unique opportunity to experience the untamed beauty of the Scottish coast and immerse oneself in the peacefulness of this remote island retreat.
