The aim of the NAVE Nortrail project is to create a series of path networks bordering the North Sea, linking to sites of cultural and natural heritage and forming a transnational tourism product - the North Sea Trail. 

The project has 26 partners from 7 countries surrounding the North Sea (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, England and Scotland). 

The Trail in East Lothian is entitled the John Muir Way, after the Dunbar-born conservationist of America's National Parks. 

WHEN I was a boy in Scotland I was fond of everything that was wild, and all my life I've been growing fonder and fonder of wild places and wild creatures. Fortunately around my native town of Dunbar, by the stormy North Sea, there was no lack of wildness, though most of the land lay in smooth cultivation, With red-blooded playmates, wild as myself, I loved to wander in the fields to hear the birds sing, and along the seashore to gaze and wonder at the shells and seaweeds, eels and crabs in the pools among the rocks when the tide was low; and best of all to watch the waves in awful storms thundering on the black headlands and craggy ruins of the old Dunbar Castle when the sea and the sky, the waves and the clouds, were mingled together as one.
From The Story of My Boyhood and Youth by John Muir (1913)
