The
house was built in 1780 and enlarged in Victorian times, and still has its
original decorative plaster cornices and handsome fireplaces. Set in 3 acres of
lovely gardens with magnificent trees it is rural and quiet, though only about
20 miles from Edinburgh.
Golfers
will probably already know that Aberlady is very central for some of the best
golf in Scotland: Muirfield, the home of the Open Golf Championship, is 4 miles
away. Gullane (3 courses), Luffness, Kilspindie and Craigielaw are even closer
(later in this page is a map of 18 golf courses within 40 minutes drive). Even
St Andrews is possible in a day.
Apart
from golf - and visiting Edinburgh - other recommended trips are: wandering
around the castles at Haddington, Dirleton and Tantallon, visiting Glenkinchie
whisky distillery, or taking a boat round the Bass Rock to see kittiwakes,
puffins and the largest colony of gannets in Europe.
One
of the best excursions is the pleasant ten minute walk from the house through
the village to Aberlady Bay Nature Reserve to see migrating wildfowl, waders
and seabirds.
