HADDINGTON SCOTLAND | a walk through Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland
Welcome to Haddington, the county town of East Lothian!
Also watch our tour of Edinburgh Scotland - • EDINBURGH ROYAL MILE F...
Just 20 miles from Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city, and often known as ‘the hidden toun’ because of the way it sits in its rural environment, Haddington is a beautiful market town, rich in history and with many attractions. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, we’d be delighted if you’d like to find out more about our town on this website.
The Royal Burgh of Haddington is a town in East Lothian, Scotland. It is the main administrative, cultural and geographical centre for East Lothian, which as a result of late-nineteenth century Scottish local government reforms took the form of the county of Haddingtonshire for the period from 1889 to 1921
Haddington lies about 17 miles (27 kilometres) east of Edinburgh. The name Haddington is Anglo-Saxon, dating from the sixth or seventh century AD when the area was incorporated into the kingdom of Bernicia. ... In the middle of the town is the Haddington Town House, completed in 1745 based on a plan by William Adam.
Haddington is a genteel, orderly town set amongst agricultural country in East Lothian. The burgh is situated snugly under the Garleton Hills on the banks of a long lazy s-bend of the River Tyne. Agriculture has long been the basis for Haddington's prosperity.
We take the Gimbal Walk TV cameras for a wander through the streets of Haddington to find out what this Scottish town is really like

Lovely town - can't wait to go back there

Never had any reason to visit before but I'm glad to see around with you today.

Thank you

Thanks Michael

[@pithogarty]

I live in Haddington and love it here! You should do a film devoted to St Mary's Kirk. It is one of the most interesting buildings, not only in Haddington, but in the whole of Scotland!!

[@rhodsullivan7773]

Very interesting. Haddington has more listed buildings than any other Scottish town. By the way Willie Wood was born in Gifford just a few miles away which is a beautiful village.

[@user-uv6wd9mj2l]

i was born in haddington in the vert memorial hospital moved to cumbria 47 yrs ago enjoyed your video

[@ozzyhono2077]

Love your videos again. Looksike a very quiet residential city and with no much fun going on.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

It is!

[@micmac8978]

We've been visiting Haddington for a few years now and have finally moved there. We love the town!

[@maggiemitchell4359]

Never heard of Haddington lovely place thanks for showing it : )

[@GimbalWalkTV]

My pleasure 😊

[@VeronicaMowery]

I just love your comments on each walk!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@lunapuella2611]

It's great watching your videos of places near where I live. It reminds me that they are lovely places. The combination of beautiful video, subtle music, ambient noise and your comments make them very entertaining as well as being informative.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you! It’s tricky at the moment as everywhere is so quiet and the weather is terrible but I will keep going and keep trying!

[@dlittlester]

First I'd heard of Haddington. One part of my family is Scots border, and the other Northern Ireland, and where I never visited Ireland, I've felt most comfortable and "at home" in the north of England. Thanks again for a great walk. I love the history. I remember standing at the base of the Roman column in York, and touching it, thinking of the Roman soldiers who made it, and also touched it so long ago.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Oh yes - York is so wonderful isn’t it!

Thank you!

[@davidrudland1015]

Loving your videos, thankyou. Providing much motivation to move there in the next few years from Australia.East Lothian and Scottish Borders are where we are looking.

[@rbalse]

Thanks for the walk around. I have Haddington DNA and visited there some time ago. It is indeed a lovely town. The building you pointed out as being on the site of King William's palace is the Haddington Court House, designed by William Burn and built by my G_G_G-grandfather. He was a Master Mason and built a number of other grand buildings in Haddington and around East Lothian.

[@karenannebrown9844]

Thank you for sharing, my ancestors are from Haddington, it was so lovely to see where they came from

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Ah awesome - Thank you Karen!

Born in Haddington,it has changed alot in the last 30 years.

[@tomkenyon3721]

Visited the Tesco store monthly for a few years as a rep on the way to an Asda store in Dunbar...although its in East Lothian it has the feel of a Borders town.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

So true

[@keithsanders6554]

Of course it was cold - it was Scotland in January! Haddington is the County Town of East Lothian and is very busy on weekdays. A shame you did not get round the the huge church of St Mary's.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I'll be doing that in summer when I return Keith for sure!

[@keithsanders6554]

@@GimbalWalkTV I look forward to it.

All three Calder brothers who played rugby for Scotland come from Haddington - and me as well!

Stopped in Haddington many times on journeys south on the A1. It’s a lovely unspoilt town. I’d never noticed the goats before though!! Enjoyed the walk!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thank you!

[@wanderer410]

What a lovely town. A hidden gem of sorts. I loved everything about it, except for the wheelie bins. I felt there were too many of them.

[@johnxhamilton64]

The plaque at the top of the High Street recognises the rejuvenation of the Town centre in the 50s, or was it the 60s. The water fountain in Court street has Samson on top of it - it’s called the Brown fountain, originally a drinking water fountain.

A lovely quiet little back water village, country yokeldum at its very best

[@daviddog2722]

Aye a pair of wellies and a wax jacket, and you are a Haddingtononian for sure, its like stepping back in time to a real hick town where the worst thing that has ever happened there is that somebody forgot to pick up their dog poo, and the yokels tried to lynch them, it is called the Haddington dog poo wars., front page news every week in the Courier.

[@dlkdyscot]

@daviddog2722 is that what's going on there now?

[@Fearl3sss]

i live there so cool, i live so close to the green

[@maggiedormer1208]

I moved to Haddington three years ago. Lovely little town. Shame you didn’t go down Sidegate to St Mary’s Church and back along the river to the High Street but maybe another time 😉. Then you could sample to “to die for” cakes at Falko’s 😋

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Definitely - Am heading back in summer to do a more summery walk there!

[@maggiedormer1208]

@@GimbalWalkTV excellent

[@michaelobrien9825]

We used to pass through here and stop off for a browse, not to sure what it's like now but at the time it was a right bustling town with quite a bit of interesting history attached to it.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

I think (as with everywhere currently) it would look way better in the sunshine of summer.

[@daviddog2722]

nothing like that now

The plaque that is high up on the wall of Carlyle house is probably related to Thomas Carlyle and / or his wife
