Longniddry is a village in the East Lothian region of Greater Edinburgh, with a population of 2,613 (2001 census).
Longniddry is primarily a dormitory village for commuters to Edinburgh, with good transport links by road and rail (Longniddry railway station is on the North Berwick Line) to the capital.
The village is largely quiet and has good local, community based resources, including local shops, a library and a community centre. Like many costal towns within East Lothian, Longniddry benefits from its beautiful sandy beach adjacent to the golf course. This stretch of local coastline is known as Longniddry Bents.
18th century Gosford House, home of the Earl of Wemyss and March, stands on the eastern edge of the village.
Good food is served in large portions at the Longniddry Inn.
