The village is beautifully situated on the coast with a nature reserve in front and golf courses to either side. Historically Aberlady was the designated Port of Haddington but its origins are much earlier, having had strong links with the old monasteries at Iona and Lindisfarne from the 7th century. Aberlady Parish Church which dates back to the 15th century and was re-built in 1887 is diagonally opposite the Lodge. The remains of a medieval harbour and Iron Age fort are just outside the village. Gosford House with its magnificent walled grounds are just to the west. Aberlady Bay was the first local nature reserve in Britain. East Lothian Council provides Reserve Wardens and the village has the headquarters of the Scottish Ornithologists Club. The Bay also holds the wrecks of eight 19th or early 20th century fishing vessels, which have been designated as maritime scheduled ancient monuments, and two wrecks of XT-craft submarines. Aberlady is in the heart of East Lothian’s ‘Golf Coast’ with several fine links golf courses flanking the village to the east and west. Kilspindie is the local course with Craigielaw adjoining and the village looks across the bay to the Luffness and Gullane golf courses. Muirfield, which is an Open Championship course, is on the far side of Gullane. The village has a primary school, store, post office and the Ducks Inn hotel and restaurant. Private schooling is at Loretto in Musselburgh, the Compass School in Haddington, and Belhaven in Dunbar. Haddington provides a wider range of shops. The property is highly accessible to Edinburgh via the A1 or by train from Longniddry. DESCRIPTION The Lodge is a prominent Victorian house with a tower at its centre. It was built of sandstone with ashlar dressings in the mid 19th century. The house was remodelled and stables and gates were added in the late 19th century. The magnificent garden room was added in 2018. The house has been fully refurbished with high quality kitchen and bathrooms. It also retains many period features including the polygonal entrance porch at the foot of the tower and a stairway with cast-iron bannisters and a painted glass window above in pre-Raphaelite style. The mid-19th century interior plasterwork cornices and ceiling roses are retained in principal rooms. The accommodation begins with an entrance hall with WC off. The front facing dining room and drawing rooms have period fireplaces. The garden room has a glazed, pitched roof and glazed doors opening into the garden. There is also a sitting room with a bay window looking over the garden and a shelved recess for a desk. The kitchen has a four oven AGA and wooden units and an AGA fridge freezer. There is a side hall beyond with a boot room and laundry off and a basement wine cellar. The first floor bedrooms are accessed off a galleried landing. The master bedroom has a dressing room with a freestanding bath and extensive wardrobe space. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, one with an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. Off a side landing are two further bedrooms and a shower room. On the second floor is the polygonal tower room from where there are coastal views. There are two attics, one which has been used as a bedroom and one containing the boiler and hot water cylinder.

  • 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.

  • Appendix J Haddington Branch Line Survey
    Appendix J Haddington Branch Line Survey AllanRail East Lothian Access STAG Physical feasibility of re-opening the Haddington Rail Branch Line Background The reopening of the Haddington Railway branch line from the East Coast Main Line (ECML) at Longniddry to Haddington is one of the options that are required to be considered in the East Lothian Access STAG. This initial report informs the appraisal work of the feasibility of re-opening the railway, some of the issues and problems that would need to be resolved, choices that are available and suggests an order of magnitude cost. Because the rest of the railway is electrified it is assumed that the Haddington branch will also be equipped with standard 25Kv overhead electrification equipment. The report is based on a physical site walk-over on 21 February 2019, carried out by David Prescott of AllanRail who has considerable experience in the initial development of re-opened railways in Scotland including walk-overs on the Stirling – Alloa – Kincardine, Airdrie- Bathgate and Borders Railway routes in the inception and pre-construction stages. This is not an engineering assessment, but an initial view based on observation and experience. The route is considered in the Longniddry to Haddington direction and the report is broken down into key route sections. Connecting to the ECML The ideal connection to the main line has several desirable operating and engineering requirements: · It should be on the Edinburgh side of Longniddry to minimise the occupation of the ECML; · It should provide as
