Gullane to North Berwick on the John Muir Way Start: Gullane Finish: North Berwick Distance: 10 km / 6 miles (one way) Time: 2½ - 3 hours (one way) Terrain: Pavements, Farm Tracks and grass paths. Directions: Follow the John Muir Way east along Gullane’s Main Street. Half a mile outside the village go through a timber gate and follow the track through the woods, cross the access road for Archerfield Links and then follow a track to the right, which brings you out in Dirleton. Follow the signs for the John Muir Way to your left and continue down a farm track to Yellowcraig. Continue along the path around the edge of the woodland and across a field and then go through another timber gate leading to a grass path along the edge of North Berwick Golf Club. The path comes out at the end of Strathearn Road and the route then follows pavements to the centre of North Berwick. Points of interest: 1. Gullane – A lovely village very much built around golf. The ruined St Andrews’ Kirk dates from the 1100s and was built to replace a church built in 800. 2. Archerfield House – Originally built in the 17th Century and remodelled in the 18th Century, Archerfield House fell into disrepair and was used as a farm store. The house was completely renovated in 2001. 3. Dirleton Castle – The earliest parts of the castle date from the 1200s. The castle was damaged and rebuilt several times over the next few centuries and eventually abandoned in the 1600s. The castle was then acquired by the Nisbet family, who went on to build Archerfield House. 4. Yellowcraig – A beautiful beach and dune area with views of the island of Fidra. 5. North Berwick – There has been a town here since at least 1250. The harbour has been very influential on the town’s history and more recently it has become a popular tourist destination. Public transport: Regular bus service to Gullane and North Berwick. Train station in North Berwick Local Services: There are shops, cafes, restaurants and public toilets in Gullane and North Berwick. .

Built around the middle of the 13th century, it remained a noble residence for four centuries. Three families resided there, and each has left its mark on the fabric – the de Vauxs (13th century – the cluster of towers at the SW corner), the Haliburtons (14th/15th century – the entrance gatehouse and east range) and the Ruthvens (16th century – the Ruthven Lodging, dovecot and gardens). The first recorded siege of Dirleton Castle was in 1298, during the Wars of Independence with England. The last occurred in 1650, following Oliver Cromwell’s invasion. However, Dirleton was primarily a residence of lordship, not a garrison stronghold, and the complex of buildings that we see today conveys clearly how the first castle was adapted to suit the changing needs and fancies of their successors.

7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This Is A
7. Some Lesser Lothian Streams This is a ‘wash-up’ section, in which I look briefly at a number of small streams, mostly called burns, which flow directly to the sea or the Firth of Forth, but which in terms of discharge rate are mainly an order of magnitude smaller than the rivers looked at so far. For each, I give a short account of the course and pick out a few features of interest, presenting photographs as seems appropriate. Starting furthest to the east, the streams dealt with are as follows: 1. Dunglas Burn 2. Thornton Burn 3. Spott Burn 4. Biel Water 5. East Peffer Burn 6. West Peffer Burn 7. Niddrie Burn 8. Braid Burn 9. Midhope Burn As shall become clear, some of these streams change their names more than once along their lengths and most are formed at the junction of other named streams, but hopefully any confusion will be resolved in the accounts which follow. 7.1 The Dunglas Burn The stream begins life as the Oldhamstocks Burn which collects water from a number of springs on Monynut Edge, the eastern flank of the Lammermuir Hills. No one of these feeders dominates, so the source is taken as where the name Oldhamstocks Burn appears, at grid point NT 713 699, close to the 200m contour. After flowing c3km east, the name changes to the Dunglas Burn which flows slightly north-east in a deep, steep- sided valley for just over 7km to reach the sea. For the downstream part of its course the burn is the boundary between the Lothians and the Scottish Borders, but upstream it flows in the former region.
