The Village is a fully established modern development in the beautiful coastal countryside of East Lothian, between Gullane and Dirleton. Lying just east of the famous Muirfield Links, home to the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, and nearby Gullane, Luffness and North Berwick golf courses, the Estate has its own rich golfing history, with the first game taking place here in 1868, and an 18 hole course created in 1910. There are now three prestigious golf courses within Archerfield Estate: Fidra Links, which is adjacent to the property, Archerfield Links and The Renaissance Club. The amenities are further augmented by The Walled Garden farm shop, restaurant and gift shop, and the acclaimed Fletcher’s Cottage Spa. Complementing the varied choice of golf courses, the area, one of natural scenic beauty, offers beautiful beaches, bird sanctuaries and historic monuments to explore.

The design has blended the clean lines of modern design with the comfort and character of traditional style to create an exceptional finish with a homely feel. The property is approached through an impressive gated entrance which leads into a gravel turning circle around a central lawn. The front door, with stone pillars on either side, opens through a vestibule into a spacious, double height reception hall, naturally lit from above. Solid hardwood flooring covers the entire ground floor reaching into each of the three reception rooms as well as to the kitchen and through to the family room. To the left of the reception hall is a grand drawing room ideal for entertaining. It has detailed cornicing and several large dual aspect windows overlooking the beautiful landscaped gardens to both the front and rear of the property. The room contains a gas fire beneath a marble mantelpiece. Adjacent to the drawing room is the formal dining room. As with the drawing room, there are French doors which open onto the expansive, paved terrace. A hidden door leads directly from the dining room into the pantry and through to the kitchen. A nicely proportioned study is also accessed from the hall with an outlook to the front. On either side of the front door are a cloakroom and WC. The kitchen is a spectacular open plan room with ample space for both dining and seating with French doors opening onto the terrace. The working kitchen is cleverly divided from the dining area by a bookcase which backs onto the fitted wall and base units which are set around a central island. The integrated Siemens appliances include three ovens, warming drawer, coffee machine, fridge, dishwasher and five burner gas hob with extractor hood. The pantry is located between the kitchen and dining room, with a door to the garden and further storage space. Connected to the open plan kitchen through glazed double doors is the family room. This is a wonderfully bright room which opens into the south east garden and makes a comfortable sitting room, with shelving, and a gas fire. A hardwood staircase sweeps up to the first floor galleried landing. The master bedroom suite has a large bathroom as well as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes. There are a further four good sized en suite bedrooms, one of which has a balcony. All bathrooms are finished to the highest standard. Next to the linen cupboard a door opens to a second staircase which leads up to the attic room. This superb space, with its four large Velux windows, has been converted to create a cinema and playroom. Beyond the family room, a door connects to the east wing from the main house. From here there is access to the quadruple garage and a staircase leads up to a self-contained apartment with two double bedrooms, a bathroom, open plan kitchen dining area and sitting room. In the garage there is a gardener’s WC and a laundry room, with washing machine, tumble dryer, storage space and sink. The boiler room, with separate secure access to the driveway, has two gas fired boilers and a clothes pulley. garden and grounds Electric double gates with phone access lead onto the gravel driveway and turning circle. There is ample parking space by the front of the house and adjacent to the large garage which can accommodate four vehicles in addition to having plenty of storage space. The gardens were landscaped by David Redmore, and feature a repeating circular pattern throughout. The result is a garden with plenty of interest through a variety of smaller and larger compartments with paths and lawns edged with herbaceous borders, shrubs and trees which contrast beautifully with the adjacent golf course and large paved terrace to the rear of the house. To the east of the garden is a wood chipped play area with climbing frames which link over into the adjacent woodland which stretches along the length of the east side of the property. Here there is private access to the path leading to Yellowcraig beach which is about 500m away. 4 Gross internal area (approx) 778.41 sq.m (8379 sq.ft) 44 the village (Including Garage) For Identification Only.

  • The Best of Walking in Scotland
    1 The Best of Walking in Scotland Scotland is a land of contrasts—an ancient country with a modern outlook, where well-loved traditions mingle with the latest technology. Here you can tread on some of the oldest rocks in the world and wander among standing stones and chambered cairns erected 5,000 years ago. However, that little cottage you pass may have a high-speed Internet connection and be home to a jewelry designer or an architect of eco-friendly houses. Certainly, you’ll encounter all the shortbread and tartan you expect, though kilts are normally reserved for weddings and football matches. But far more traditional, although less obviously so, is the warm welcome you’ll receive from the locals. The farther you go from the big cities, the more time people have to talk—you’ll find they have a genuine interest in where you come from and what you do. Scotland’s greatest asset is its clean, green landscapes, where walkers can fill their lungs with pure, fresh air. It may only be a wee (small) country, but it has a variety of walks to rival anywhere in the world. As well as the splendid mountain hikes to be found in the Highlands, there’s an equal extent of Lowland terrain with gentle riverside walks and woodland strolls. The indented coastline and numerous islands mean that there are thousands of miles of shore to explore, while the many low hills offer exquisite views over the countryside. There’s walking to suit all ages and tastes. Some glorious countryside with rolling farmland, lush woods, and grassy hills can be reached within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

  • Forth Island Seabird Counts 1973
    FORTH ISLAND SEABIRD COUNTS 1973 RWJ Smith (Reproduced from the 1973 Journal of the Edinburgh Natural History Society) Shags continue their increase on the East Lothian islands and the Fidra colony seems to be well established. A pair were reported with a nest on Carr Craig near Inchcolm and they probably bred. There is no previous record of breeding in Inner Forth although we found a bird on an empty nest several years ago on Inchkeith. The number of Guillemots breeding on Lamb has shot up from 200 pairs to about 340 pairs since 1971 - an increase of 70% in two years - and they, too, are consolidating their position on Fidra. More Puffins than ever before were seen on and around Craigleith and Inchkeith. Many of these will be non-breeding birds but they are indicative of the healthy state of the species in Forth. A slightly alarming side-effect of this increase became apparent during an August visit to Inchkeith. In June numbers of birds were sitting around burrows on the steep slopes of the north-west side of the Island. These 60º slopes were covered with vegetation and apparently completely stable. By early August two sections of slope had slipped and were now 45° screes of small granulated particles apparently of a basaltic origin. Fortunately there is a storm beach at the foot of the scree so that there is little danger of heavy seas washing the cliffs away completely. This erosion may have been started by the burrowing of the Puffin. The situation will have to be carefully watched and it will be interesting to note how soon the scree will become stabilised by a covering of vegetation.

  • Study to Quantify Plastic Pellet Loss in the UK Report Briefing
    Study to quantify plastic pellet loss in the UK Report Briefing A new study reveals that between 5 and 53 billion plastic pellets, or nurdles, may be lost to the environment each year through accidental spillage by the plastics industry. These estimates of pellet emissions are the first of their kind in Scotland and the rest of the UK. The pellets, which can be classed as a primary microplastic1, are found in abundance on beaches around the UK coastline. With mounting evidence of their harm to marine ecosystems, this report highlights the vast scale of an issue, which, until now, has remained almost entirely hidden from the public eye. 1 Cole, M., et al. “Microplastics as contaminants in the marine environment: a review.” Marine pollution bulletin 62.12 (2011): 2588-2597. image © Nurdle pot (Clare @ Witchcreations) What are nurdles? Every year, 2.5 million tonnes of plastic is produced, and 4.8 million tonnes processed to create new products in the United Kingdom. The vast majority2 of this plastic starts life in the form of small pellets known as nurdles. They are generally 3-5mm in diameter, around the size of a lentil, and weigh ~20mg each. For example, around 600 nurdles are used to make a small disposable water bottle. Nurdles – an environmental pollutant: Tiny and lightweight, nurdles are easily spilled during handling in all sectors of the industry, from pellet production, transport to final plastics manufacture. As a result, many find their way into the marine environment through drains and watercourses. Of similar size and shape to fish eggs, they are often mistaken by marine animals for food and ingested, which can inhibit appetite3.

  • The Story of the Isle of May National Nature Reserve
    The Story of the Isle of May National Nature Reserve 2nd edition For further information on the Isle of May NNR please contact: The Reserve Manager Scottish Natural Heritage 46 Crossgate Cupar Fife KY15 5HS Tel: 01334 654038 Email: [email protected] The Story of the Isle of May National Nature Reserve The Story of the Isle of May National Nature Reserve The Isle of May National Nature Reserve (NNR) lies on the east coast of Scotland, in the entrance of the Firth of Forth. For its small size it has a tremendous variety of wildlife and is renowned for its rich bird life, seals and reefs. During the summer months the cliffs on the Isle of May are home to spectacular seabird colonies, and in the autumn the second largest Atlantic grey seal colony in eastern Britain breeds on ‘the May’, as it is known locally. In the spring and autumn the island is an important site for migrant birds passing to and from their breeding grounds. The island has an impressive cultural history stretching back thousands of years. The Isle of May is one of over fifty NNRs in Scotland. Scotland's NNRs are places where some of the best examples of Scotland’s wildlife and habitats are carefully managed. Whilst nature always comes first on NNRs, they also offer special opportunities for people to enjoy and find out about the richness of our natural heritage. The Reserve Story provides information on the Reserve and its management. It briefly describes the wildlife and habitats found on the Reserve, why they are special in both international and national and terms, a brief history of the island before it became a Reserve, and management of wildlife, people and property on the Reserve to the present day.
