Location:

The town of Haddington is situated in East Lothian on the river Tyne and has a population of 8,500 people. A royal burgh, it is the main administrative centre for East Lothian and lies around 20 miles east of the city of Edinburgh. The town has become very popular for commuters to the city and there are plans for further housing developments within the town which confirms the popularity of Haddington.

For locals the town boasts a good selection of amenities including primary and secondary schooling, rugby club, golf course with East Lothian’s coastline and beaches being within easy reach. The town centre has the feeling of a bygone era with most of the retail shops still being privately owned and is therefore a delightful town centre for locals and visitors to shop and enjoy the architecture.
