Buying in Innerwick
Innerwick is a small countryside village in East Lothian roughly 5 miles southeast of Dunbar. It has about 450 residents. Like many rural villages in east Lothian, agriculture still plays a significant role in the day-to-day economy of the village. As you would expect, the village is surrounded by farms which account for a lot of the local employment, though some residents also travel to work in Dunbar which is easily reached on the A1 trunk road which is north of the village.
In terms of amenities and things to do, Innewick as you’d expect doesn’t have too much going on, being more of a sleepy village. There are however a school, an outdoor education centre and church. The outdoor centre which was formerly the old school. This has recently undergone refurbishment and modernisation to be fit for use. There is also a village hall. Beyond that there’s not too much to mention in the village but then that’s the attraction to many of the residents: a quieter life. Residents typically travel up to the larger town of Dunbar for more choice of amenities. However, residents do benefit from an excellent array of local rural walking routes around the local farmland or towards the North Sea coast.
Worth a mention is that a large number of the buildings in Innerwick are listed as having architectural or historical importance which does draw some visitors in to see. Also worth noting are the ruins of Innerwick Castle, built by the Stewart family in the 14th century, are perched on a sandstone outcrop overlooking Thornton Glen which is managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Innerwick Castle had a strategic position against English invasion until 1548 when it was badly damaged by the Duke of Somerset.
As for local schooling, the town is served by a single primary school: Innerwick Primary School. When of secondary age, pupils would typically attend Dunbar Grammar School in Dunbar.
In January 2024, property in Innerwick stood at an average value of £250,000.

Buying in Musselburgh
Long known as the “Honest Toun” after a medieval story involving the devoted care of a Scottish nobleman by the people of the town, Musselburgh is a beautiful and historic town in East Lothian with much to suggest it’s long and storied history. Situated on the coast of the Firth of Forth, Musselburgh has a fine beach, much open green space and a true wealth of architecture.
Situated on the western edge of East Lothian (the town in fact used to lie in West Lothian), Musselburgh is a town which has saw quite extensive development around its historic core in the latter half of the twentieth century. This is a trend which has never really let up, and Musselburgh is attractive not only for its many landmarks – like Fisherow harbour, Musselburgh Racecourse and the stunning grounds of the prestigious Loretto school – but also for its close proximity to Edinburgh.
This nearness to the nation’s capital makes Musselburgh at once a popular commuter town as well as the host of a strong local economy as well. Musselburgh has the attraction of nationwide fame (the aforementioned racecourse for example) and its local prestigious schools (not only Loretto but also Musselburgh Grammar, one of the oldest grammar schools in the country) which drives jobs in the area. Housing development is also strong in Musselburgh, with recent developments such as proposed flats on the site of a former supermarket continuing a long trend of development and a buoyant property market in Musselburgh.
In terms of property types, Musselburgh bears testament to its long history and the eclectic development of more recent times. In Musselburgh, traditional properties such as granite terraces or sandstone tenements stand side-by-side with modern flats, bungalows and semi-detached properties.
The average price for property in Musselburgh stood at £234,187 in July 2021. This is a rise of 1.26% in the last three months since April 2021 and a good rise of 9.29% since July 2020.
