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. -

General Guide SHERIFFSIDE 2014 Rampart Scotland: A Guide Background Rampart Scotland was set up in 2010 to offer a refreshing approach to training in archaeology through a well established research plan. The programme is designed to enable learning, discovery and enjoyment in field archaeology skills under the guidance of professionals who are passionate about archaeology. Run by Murray Cook and David Connolly the ongoing research and training programme into banked enclosures – known in the literature as Hillforts. between them Murray and David have over 50 years of experience and 50 publications in Scottish archaeology! After brochs, hillforts are the iconic monuments of the Scottish Iron Age, and yet very few of them have been dated and so there is no overarching model for their development. The absence of such a model is directly connected to a lack of modern excavation: topographic survey evidence alone is not sufficient to characterise the monuments, with intrusive archaeology the best way to gather more evidence. In the past four years we have excavated and dated three sites: White Castle, Tamnafalloch and Sheriffside. This builds on Murray’s earlier work on the Hillforts of Strathdon in Aberdeenshire, which dated eight sites and resulted in 10 publications. Sheriffside Enclosure The 2014 season will return to Sheriffside, near Gifford, East Lothian which has the largest defensive ditch in East Lothian (nearly m deep and over 9m wide) and which was levelled in antiquity and only rediscovered in 1981. The site was occupied between c 600 BC and AD 500 and was used through the Roman occupation of Southern Scotland, including the Barbarian Conspiracy of AD 367, in which the lands of Roman Britain were overrun by the wilder tribes of the north and west. -

Gullane to North Berwick on the John Muir Way
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. -
