Enjoy an engaging walk through the historic market town of Haddington.

One of the very first Royal Burghs, it is the birthplace of kings, religious reformers, and artists and writers of renown.

Learn about the important role it played in Scottish History.

Here was signed the Treaty of Haddington that shaped the destiny of Mary Queen of Scots. Here the longest siege in Scottish history was endured and here John Know, leader of the Scottish Reformation, was born.
