East Linton
East Linton is a town in
East Lothian and is
located on the western side of the River Tyne, at the point where a 16th century
bridge carried the Great North Road, which runs from Edinburgh to London,
across the river. Two main roads, including the main Edinburgh London road, now
bypass the town, each crossing the Tyne on bridges upstream from the old bridge.
Back in East Linton, the River Tyne provided power for a
number of mills that developed in the area over the years; this included Preston
Mill on the eastern edge of the town that is now looked after by the National
Trust for Scotland, as is the nearby Phantassie Doocot.
A short distance from East Linton, standing on the southern
(opposite) side of the Tyne, is the remains of the 13th century
Hailes
Castle. Both the castle and the town are overlooked by the 221m/724 feet
Traprain Law.
