olderndirt Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 East Lothian is my ancestral home - a long line of Scottish plowmen reaching back to the 1500's (where my genealogy guy hit the wall) Nobody travelled more than fifty miles - neither did I 'til America called. There are three Lothian counties, east/mid and west stretching along the Forth shore from Dunbar in the east to Linlithgow in the west. Once part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria, it became part of emerging Scotland after a battle (what else?). North Berwick ]] Gullane - famous for its several links style golf courses which proliferate the Scottish coast. A place to test your mettle or wood - whatever. Prestonpans - the only good thing to happen during the '45 Jacobite rebellion. How about the champagne Beech with the cork cowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Sighthill back when Livingston was just a few brand new roads - no buildings but you could tell there was a plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
