Musselburgh, East Lothian
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I was in East Lothian yesterday. I have started writing a guide to the area which lies to the east of Edinburgh. I like the area a lot. There are pretty towns and villages along the coast and inland. Yesterday I was on the coast in the town of Musselburgh. Musselburgh is not exactly a tourist hotspot but I think it’s worth spending a couple of hours here if you are in the region. You can take bus from the centre of Edinburgh to Musselburgh for £1.10. The area round the harbour has been renovated recently with a new free car park with clean toilets and attractive new silver benches. In the photo below you can see the three Lomond Hills in Fife, across the Forth Estuary. There is a pleasant walk along the prom.

The area around the river and the old bridge is looking lovely with all the flowers.

When I’m in the area I usually visit the Inveresk Lodge Gardens. It’s generally very quiet, I often have the place to myself. There are wicker chairs in the greenhouse where you can sit if it’s a cool day. There is a swinging chair or picnic benches in the garden.
