Description
Craigleith Island rises to a height of 48 metres above the Firth of Forth, but it has far fewer Fou de Bassan than Bass Rock, to the east. Craigleith is the home to Macareux moine, Grand Cormoran, Cormoran huppé, Guillemot de Troïl and Pingouin torda , plus numerous seals. It was orginally used as a rabbit warren, to provide rabbits for food. It was also the home to one of Britain's largest Macareux moine colonies, although these seemed to be in terminal decline until the Scottish Seabird Centre started a project in 2007 to clear Tree Mallow from the island. Macareux moine numbers have been noted on the rise again in recent years.

Craigleith Island is included in most boat trips to Bass Rock from North Berwick, run by the Scottish Seabird Centre and Sula Boats. The latter company also runs shorter trips to Craigleith only, sold as a Seal Pup spotting trip. No landings are allowed on the island, so sightings will be from a boat only.
