While every effort is made to keep them up to date, they should not be considered a definitive or final assessment of our properties. Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH DIRLETON CASTLE SYNOPSIS Dirleton Castle, in the heart of the pretty East Lothian village of that name, is one of Scotland's oldest masonry castles. 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.

  • Planning Application Numbers: 16/00710/PM and 16/00711/P
    Planning Application Numbers: 16/00710/PM and 16/00711/P Proposed Development for 24 Dwellings at Ware Road, Dirleton The Dirleton Village Association’s Objections to the Application 24 October 2016 Background Following the statutory community consultation carried out by Muir Homes in Dirleton, the Dirleton Village Association compiled and published its comments on the proposals in a document entitled Dirleton Expects. Muir Homes responded to this document, and revised their proposals, showing them to the DVA advisers at a meeting on 2 nd August. It was explained that no approvals could be given at the meeting. The advisers were to report back to the DVA and wait for a su bse quent application before making comment. The application was made and registered on 20 th September 2016 as two submissions. The emerging LDP has now reached the ‘Proposal’ stage, and at the end of the current response period, due to end on 30 th October 2016, it will become the ‘Final’ LDP and will then be presented to the Scottish government for approval. It is therefore at an advanced stage and has already been extensively consulted upon, considered and scrutinised by ELC officers and councillors. It is described as ‘the settled view’ of the council. It contains proposals for housing developments on sites that it proposes to allocate for housing development. The application site is not included. In fact, it is shown as protected countryside under the Countryside Around Towns policy section. The following objections to the applications fall into two groups: those relating to planning matters in relation to the Proposed Local Development Plan and those which relate to the details of the proposed applications.

  • Gullane Outlook Magazine (August 2019)
    Outlook Gullane Parish Church August 2019 Autumn You are warmly invited to join us in the SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION Sunday 25 August 2019 9.45am and 6.30pm All welcome Dear Friends Some months ago, a good friend gave me a birthday gift. It was a book; a slim volume entitled “A Splash of Words” and written by someone of whom I had never heard, Mark Oakley. The subtitle of the work is “Believing in poetry”, a neat play on words, as its focus is both the importance of poetry and the conviction that “from its very beginnings the human intuition that the world is a gift, that it has a divine origin, and that life and love come from this same source, was explored and shared poetically.” (A Splash of Words” page xviii). In the moment of receiving, I was, of course, appreciative; grateful for my friend’s thoughtfulness and generosity. When I unwrapped it, my gratitude grew as I read the title and some of the reviews printed on the back cover. It looked like something I would enjoy. When I sat down, some weeks on, to read the first chapter, I had, once again, an increased sense of blessing as I felt immediately at home with the writing and enriched by it. The trend has continued as I have savoured the rest of the book and ordered another by the same author. I know that I will continue to dip into and benefit from Mark Oakley’s writing. Truly this has been a gift that keeps on giving.

Building the Reformed Kirk: the cultural use of ecclesiastical buildings in Scotland, 1560–1645 by Graham T. Chernoff A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh July 2012 Abstract This thesis examines the built environment and culture of Scotland between 1560 and 1645 by analysing church buildings erected during the period. The mid-sixteenth- century ecclesiastical Reformation and mid-seventeenth-century political and ecclesiastical tumult in Scotland provide brackets that frame the development of this physical aspect of Scottish cultural history. This thesis draws most heavily on architectural and ecclesiastical history, and creates a compound of the two methods. That new compound brings to the forefront of the analysis the people who produced the buildings and for whom the church institution operated.

    Abbey Church and Dirleton Kirk News October/November 2020 Minister: Rev. Dr David J Graham, BSc, BD Sunday Morning Worship at 9.30 am (until 10.20) Dirleton Kirk 10.30am (Until 11.30) Abbey Church All welcome Book through Abbey Church Office Wednesdays 10am Half Hour Prayer Service Dirleton Our services are available by email, on our website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel (see back page for details). Printed copies of the words are also available, please let the Church Office know if you would like to receive these. Dear Dirleton & Abbey Friends, In 1872, the famous American evangelist D L Moody preached in North Berwick. Moody was the ‘Billy Gra- ham’ of his day, and to have him preach here must have been a great experience. I haven’t come across an ac- count of the occasion, but I know that in a strange way it was connected with the writing of a gospel hymn: When peace like a river attendeth my way When sorrows like sea billows roll Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well with my soul Horatio Spafford, was a successful lawyer in Chicago. In 1871 he lost most of his investments in the great Chicago Fire, then their 4 year-old son died of scarlet fever. His friend D. L. Moody was to preach in Britain, so they decided to travel to hear him, and also have a holiday. Due to last-minute business pressures, his wife Anna and their four girls had to travel before he did.
