The pretty little hamlet of Tyninghame is roughly half way between Dunbar and North Berwick in East Lothian. The original village of Tyninghame was a few hundred yards to the east, near Tyninghame House. But in 1761 the Earl of Haddington moved Tyninghame village from its original position to make way for landscaped parkland. The "new" settlement with its beautiful red sandstone buildings is now on the west side of the A198, just over a mile south of Whitekirk. It dates from the early-mid 1800s.

One of the things that struck me most about south-east Scotland is that the typical cottages in the villages and hamlets seem to be mostly single storey whereas in England they would normally be two-storey.
