As one of two CNC sites in Southern Scotland, Torness benefits from being surrounded by variety. Just 47 minutes away you’ll find Edinburgh. From castles and history through to live events and restaurants, there’s always something to see and do.

However, the area around Torness has a lot more to it than Scotland’s capital city. The nearest town of Dunbar is ideal for family life, and the area is a destination for walkers. And for those looking for a thrill, you’ll discover some of the country’s most popular surfing spots along the local beaches. 

If you prefer something a bit more relaxed, golf enthusiasts are well catered for. The world famous Muirfield course, a regular venue for the British open, is nearby.

With fantastic train links to Edinburgh and England from Dunbar, Torness is also an ideal location for those who love to travel. In fact, the nearest airport in Edinburgh is under an hour away in the car. From Barcelona to Beijing, you’ll have access to the whole world. 

You’ll also find some affordable areas to live. Of course, it all depends on where you want to settle down. Edinburgh will provide more variety, but at a higher cost. The average property price is around £310,342 (as of December 2021), with flats going for an average of £246,568.
