Beskrivning
Craigleith Island rises to a height of 48 metres above the Firth of Forth, but it has far fewer havssula than Bass Rock, to the east. Craigleith is the home to lunnefågel, Storskarv, toppskarv, sillgrissla and tordmule , 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 lunnefågel 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. lunnefågel numbers have been noted on the rise again in recent years.

Tillgänglighet
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.
