Website Launch!
We are delighted to announce the publication of our website. We hope you will enjoy your visit and return often. However, if you have any suggestions, questions or feedback, we would be delighted to hear from you via our Contact page.
Cross Reconstruction!
We expect the installation of the 8th century high cross reconstruction to take place in late June 2010. We will post updates here as and when they are available.
St Aidan's Way!
The overland route from Aberlady to Holy Island formed part of a more extensive pilgrimage route between the two monastic powerhouses of the early Celtic church, Iona and Lindisfarne. It is very possible that St Aidan, the founder of the monastery at Lindisfarne took this route. Complementing St Cuthbert's Way from Old Melrose to Lindisfarne, we propose to promote this former pilgrimage route as St Aidan's Way

Talks & Tours
What people said:
"Enjoyable talk and walk around Aberlady. Tour was just the right length, and of interest. Ian was very knowledgeable about the history and archaeology of the area."
"Other things were pointed out en route, e.g. submarines, the wooden slats and sunken posts in the area of the harbour which formed the edge of the old harbour, remains of fishing boats left for picturesque effect, the connection between the setting of the local church and the one at Lindisfarne, even some basking seals."
"The man who led this is obviously an enthusiast and his talk was extremely well prepared. We then went on a walk to see at first hand what he had talked about.
"Even the weather was wonderful."
