Why stay here ...
Gallowslaw is situated on the eastern side of the Scottish Borders with easy access from the A1. It is a short drive/cycle from the coast and a great stop off for those travelling further north in Scotland
Gallowslaw is a quiet and peaceful site with wonderful views of the surrounding farmland and sea to the east. Being in the heart of the countryside means you will be able to see roe deer, hares, buzzards and tawny owls from your van.
Gallowslaw is a large (¾ acre) spacious grass site, with plenty of room for awnings with no extra charge.A recent new hard core, all weather thoroughfare has been added for ease of access and egress.
Families are welcome, along with dogs. There are plenty of great dog walks in the area and a farm track runs along the front of the site with wonderful views and wildlife along it.
Gallowslaw is a great base for:
- Coldingham (3 miles away) with its historic priory and beautiful coastline. In Coldingham you will find 2 pubs, a garage, shops, a post office/cafe as well as a really good fish and chip shop and a great beach which is protected by life guards in the summer.
- St Abbs (4 miles away) is a picturesque fishing village and nature reserve which is a haven for local sea birds and wildlife. There is great walking around the reserve and along the coastal foot paths.
- Historic houses; Paxton, Manderston and Floors Castle.
- Edinburgh; lots of our visitors spend at least one day in the city. If your visiting in August make sure to catch the Fringe Festival.
- Many more seaside towns such as Eyemouth, North Berwick, Berwick-Upon-Tweed and Dunbar- each with great local beaches to visit. Local Shops in 1.5 miles.

Gallows Law
Booking is online only, and you pick your pitch at the same time. Site is unmanned, but offers EHU & water. Ramps required. Great value, if you have your toilet (and shower). Very quiet, and great views.

A Haven of quiet and tranquillity
Gallows Law
Stayed here on the 5th and 6th of June 2023 site is perfect. It has everything you need electric hook up lots of water points across the whole site. Nice and tidy views are amazing already booked for September love it so much. Plus price is really cheap.
Nice CL for stopover
Gallows Law
We booked and paid for this site online in advance as the site is unmanned self-service type entry. We simply turned up and chose a pitch. The pitches have clearly all been very recently done up, now level gravel hardstanding. The site has great views but is exposed to wind, the owners have recently planted a new hedgerow around the whole site. Which in time will provide a bit of shelter. EHU and water on the pitches. WC emptying and a wooden box for rubbish at bottom of the site. Great dog walk straight up the farm road. A bit muddy when we were there after a fair bit of rain. At £16 good value and good for an overnight stop from A1.
Over crowded
Gallows Law
We stayed here for 4 nights in June. The approach road/ farm track is very poor with large stones and ruts, which meant lurching from one to another.
We were in pitch one at the top end of the site and in our opinion the best pitch. Whilst we were there five other caravans were pitched up with one being pitched on the grass area with a long cable running across the site.
Pitch one had another cable running from the electric bollard, this went behind our caravan, over a fence and was connected to a camper van on land outside the site. 7 vans??
The chemical waste area was filthy, although there was a hose to rinse things down it had been left in the muck and no one seemed willing to get covered trying to use it. We didn’t see the owner at all and I understand that it is an unmanned site. Ok, but perhaps a check round and a clean up wouldn’t go amiss. We’re glad we weren’t pitched beside this area and felt sorry for the person who was.
Good enough site but does need some looking at.
