Pencaitland, East Lothian The picturesque village of Pencaitland has developed around the Tyne Water, with a 16th century bridge linking the two sides of easter and wester Pencaitland. Situated only 12 miles from the heart of Edinburgh city centre, in unspoilt countryside, the historic village can date its church back to 1242. The public house, the Winton Arms, is situated to the east of the village, and hosts occasional events and quiz nights, as is the bowling club, recreation field and a children's play park. A small supermarket includes a post office, a petrol station and the old village shop, and there are also local home deliveries of fish, fruit and vegetable vans together with a mobile library and bank. The village also has a primary school. Nearby Haddington (only 5 miles away) offers extensive shopping and amenities, including a range of independent shops and supermarkets, banks, cafes, pubs, restaurants, galleries, hardware shops, garages, a state-of-the-art library, primary and secondary schools, some further education and sports clubs. The beautifully restored Carriage House in the village hosts a range of activity groups. Popular with walkers and cyclists, there are several pathways around Pencaitland, beside the Tyne Water, through the Winton estate and along the old railway track. The village offers regular bus services to Edinburgh and 30-minute car journey will take you to the city centre.
