Situation

One of the joys of living in West Saltoun is the peacefulness and birdsong evident from the rural location and yet a roughly half hour drive to the center of Edinburgh. This convenience also stretches further with proximity to beaches like Longniddry and Portobello.

The walk from the front door can take you to the large and accessible Saltoun Big Wood holding a river and pond. Perfect for walks with dogs and children alike.

In nearby Haddington there are a great selection of shops and the wonderful Loft Cafe for delicious coffee, cake or bread.

For children there is a play park at the end of the village. It has a slide, swings and a wooden playhouse. Schooling is at East Saltoun for Primary pupils and Haddington for seniors. We have been advised by the seller there is a bus to collect Senior pupils and drop off. For private schools there is Compass School in Haddington and for seniors there are pick up buses for the Edinburgh private schools in Tranent.

In Haddington, there is a fully equipped leisure centre with a pool and an extensive variety of classes.
