About Us
Aberlady Conservation and History Society was established in 2001. The Society aims to research, conserve and promote the village’s historic and natural environment. We do this by organising local archaeology and conservation projects, and by a monthly programme of talks, open to all interested (see current programme below). For more information on the Society, please contact us using the email contact form.
The Village of Aberlady
Aberlady, situated 20 miles east of Edinburgh on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, has a population of around 1,200.
The village has a very long history dating back to before the Dark Ages, and the Anglian Cross which stood here 1300 years ago was a symbol of peace and reconciliation during a period before the kingdoms of Scotland and England had been formed. More recently, Aberlady was a medieval port and market town and during Edwardian times was a popular tourist centre, aided by the village’s own railway station.
For more information on the village, please visit the Aberlady Community Association Website.
Join Us
Membership of the Society is open to anyone, particularly of course to Aberlady residents. But we have members from across East Lothian and would welcome interest from further afield.
