Seige of Haddington Walk

Reconstruction by Andrew Spratt of English Earth and Timber Fortress at Haddington

during the Siege of 1548.

Jean Fairbairn has brought to my attention an Archaeological Walk organised by East Lothian Archaeological Service of the site of the Siege of Haddington in 1548 which is taking place on 29th. October.

This would form a very natural follow-up to the tour of  the Battlefield of Pinkie Cleugh recently enjoyed by several of our members - see report

The walk which will be led by Stephanie Leith will last from 10.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and there will be a charge of £3. Stout foot wear and wet weather gear are essential To book contact Stephanie on 01620 827408 or e-mail bookings@eastlothian.gov.uk
