Aberlady

This village, once the Port for Haddington, derives its name from burn once known as the “Leddie” which runs beside the village.
Aberlady Bay, a Nature Reserve since 1952, is a spectacular expanse of sea-flats and is home to large numbers of waders and seabirds which attract many enthusiastic Birdwatchers from near and far.
Public Transport is available from Edinburgh on a half- hourly basis.

The community consists of two Hotels, Post Office, General Store, Fish & Chip shop, and 1 mile to the South a Caravan and Camping Site.

What to see and do in Aberlady.
Aberlady Bay is of course well worth a visit for a stroll, watch the birds or relax with a picnic (but do watch the tides). This is also a good starting point for a walk either East to Gullane, Dirleton and North Berwick, or West towards Longniddry and Cockenzie/Port Seton.
A game of bowls can be arranged at the Bowling Club.

To the West of the village stands Gossford House built 1790-1800 by Robert Adam for the Earl of Wemyss which remains the Earl`s home today. Well worth avisit is the area to the East of the house which includes a fantastic arrangement of interconnected artificial lakes.
Luffness House to the East of the village was built in the late 16th century and extended in 1822, 1825, and 1846-1874, the remains of a 13th centuary Carmalite Friary can be seen in the grounds.
