The Local Area
Walking: Crauchie is set amidst fields and woods and there are extensive off-road walks direct from the door-step. The Scottish National Museum of Flight (home to Concorde) is ten minutes’ walk away and the farm tracks link up to the John Muir Way, which follows the beautiful East Lothian coastline.
Golf: East Lothian is a golfer’s paradise and Crauchie is within 20 minutes drive of nearly a score of golf courses, including Muirfield, Gullane, Luffness and North Berwick, so golfers will find no shortage of challenges. Ian plays himself and is happy to help with information and booking tees. Golf clubs and equipment can be safely housed.
Attractions: Apart from our picturesque local village of East Linton, we are roughly equidistant from Dunbar and North Berwick with their busy little harbours and Haddington with its ancient church and 18 th century town square. Tantallon Castle dominates the nearby coast and commands views of Bass Rock and its remarkable gannet colony, Dirleton Castle has a beautiful garden below its ancient walls and Hailes Castle boasts close links with Mary Queen of Scots.
The beaches of Yellowcraig, Gullane and Tynninghame are stunning stretches of golden sand. There is a famous and extensive bird sanctuary at Aberlady Bay. The award-winning Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick attracts visitors from worldwide and boats make regular sightseeing trips around the offshore gannet, puffin and seal colonies.
We are near to various popular wedding venues such as the stately houses of Lennoxlove, Gilmerton and Broxmouth, as well as Fenton Tower and Ravensheugh Log Cabin. There is a good local taxi service and transport can be arranged.
Location: Crauchie lies a few miles north of the A1 trunk road between Haddington and Dunbar. It is also easily accessible by bus to East Linton or train to Drem station. Edinburgh airport is only 33 miles away.
