East Linton

East Linton

(East Lothian)

East Linton is a town in East Lothian, Scotland, situated on the River Tyne and A1 road five miles east of Haddington, with a population of 1,774 (Census 2001). (In 1881 it had a population of 1,928).

East Linton is said to get its name form the Linn (a waterfall) on the river next to the village, although Martine adds that it was called East Linton to distinguish it from West Linton in Peebleshire.

Preston Mill, an old watermill, is on the outskirts. There has been a mill on the site since 1599, and it is still working. Attached to the watermill is a kiln, with a cowl of local design.
