On the coast at the mouthof the Peffer Burn, Aberlady was an active harbour as early as 1149. On this largely sandy shoreline it was one of the few places where trading vessels of the day could come close to shore for loading and unloading. In 1633 this nautical role was formalised when an act of Parliament designated it as the Port for Haddington. However the larger ships of the 1800s needed deeper water, and Aberladys role as a port gradually diminished. The wooden ribs of some boats can be seen at low tide. An archeological dig took place to reveal harbour stone.
Today the area is a nature reserve, and close by is Kilspindie Golf Club.
There are pictorial notice boards around the area with more information.
Park in Aberlady and walk along the coast to the Kilspindie Golf Club overspill carpark. Or drive along the single track road with passing places to grab your cache.
