Prestonpans

“The Pans” lies 9 miles east of Edinburgh, nestling between Musselburgh and Cockenzie on the beautiful East Lothian coast. With its quick road connections to the A1 and 14 minute railway journey from Edinburgh, this historic burgh is currently a property “hotspot”.

Famous for the 1745 battle and its industrial past, today’s attractions include Prestongrange Museum, Preston Tower, the Mural trail and the Mercat Cross.

Lesser known is that it was a retreat of Sir Walter Scott; had the oldest recorded lodge in the world and was the birthplace of Sir William Fergusson; John Horsburgh; John Abercrombie & James Howden.
