Just over an hour's car ride from Edinburgh lies one of Scotland's most picturesque seaside locations.
The tiny fishing village of St Abbs has become so popular with tourists over the past decade or so that it's even attracted the attention of the people behind some of the world's biggest films.
The coastal village, which lies on the east coast in Berwickshire, just north of Eyemouth, has sweeping views of the north sea and was deemed the perfect place to play the role of 'New Asgard' in the Marvel Avengers films.
Not only that, but one of the biggest pop stars on the planet also filmed his most recent music video there.
Marvel
In 2019, Scottish cinema-goers were delighted to spot not only the capital in Avengers: Endgame but also St Abbs, which doubled as the fictional Norwegian village of Tonsberg, and would go on to become New Asgard.
The scenes filmed there featured a drastically changed Thor and fan favourite Korg, as well as a cameo for Scotland's other national drink, Irn-Bru.
Though New Asgard is set to return in new Marvel film Thor: Love and Thunder, it's not known whether it'll be St Abbs playing the now-famous site.
Harry Styles
St Abbs' claim to fame doesn't end there, pop superstar Harry Styles also chose the little seaside village as the setting for one of his music videos.
The former One Direction star filmed the video for the single Adore You, which shows scenes filmed at St Abbs, as it stands in for the fictional island of Eroda.
St Abbs
Surrounded by rugged cliffs, St Abbs makes a fascinating sight with its angular harbour and pastel-coloured fisherfolk cottages.
The village is said to have been renamed after Æbbe, a 7th-century Northumbrian princess and saint, in the 1890s.
Popular with scuba divers and surfers, who flock to the nearby Coldingham Bay, the little village draws in thousands of tourists each year.
The nearby St Abbs Head is also home to a Nature Reserve and a thriving seabird colony, making it ideal for bird watchers and wildlife lovers – you can spot thousands of birds including guillemots, kittiwakes and puffins.
There is also a population of grey seals that make this area home.
The striking Lighthouse, which dates back to the 1860s, is another beautiful landmark worth checking out while you are in the area.
