Introduction
One of the most scenic parts of Scotland, East Lothian’s attractive coastline and countryside, picturesque towns and villages, and famous golf courses draw many visitors from around the world.

Stretching from the eastern edge of Edinburgh to the North Sea and bounded by the Lammermuir Hills to the south, East Lothian covers an area of 435 km2. Seventy kilometres of magnificent coastline include some of the finest beaches in Scotland. |

Inland, rich arable farmland lies in an open, rolling landscape, while to the south a string of unspoilt villages sit at the foot of the Lammermuirs – themselves a popular haunt for hillwalkers and naturalists. The county is home to 90,000 people and each year its population grows well above the Scottish national average. |
