Firth ViewPlaces for PeopleAbout East Lothian
East Lothian is one of Scotland's 32 council areas, south of the Firth of Forth, bordered by Edinburgh to the west, Midlothian to the south-west and the Scottish Borders to the south. It was called Haddingtonshire until 1921. Haddington is the administrative centre and former county town, and Musselburgh, Tranent, Prestonpans, North Berwick and Dunbar are among the other towns.
The county has seen many battles. The Battle of Dunbar was fought in 1296 and again in 1650, when Oliver Cromwell's army won, and Charles Edward Stuart's Jacobites defeated the government army at Prestonpans in 1745. Legend has it that the flag of Scotland was first conceived at a battle at Athelstaneford in 823. Tantallon Castle, the Red Douglases' clifftop stronghold behind a great curtain wall of red sandstone, was abandoned after Cromwell's army besieged it, and Dunbar and Dirleton castles also date from the medieval and early modern period.
The county is mostly rural, with 40 miles of coastline on the Firth of Forth, where the coast has bays such as Aberlady Bay and Belhaven Bay, and islands including Fidra, Craigleith and the Bass Rock lie off North Berwick. Inland, the River Tyne flows through Haddington, and the Lammermuir Hills rise along the southern boundary.
The East Coast Main Line calls at Musselburgh, East Linton and Dunbar, and the North Berwick Line serves Wallyford, Prestonpans, Longniddry, Drem and North Berwick. The A1, dual carriageway throughout the county, links it with Edinburgh to the west and the Scottish Borders to the south.
