Sunday in Haddington

KryptoMart and I had a lovely afternoon walking round Haddington in East Lothian.

Haddington lies about 20 miles (32 km) east of Edinburgh. The name Haddington is Anglo-Saxon, dating from the 6th or 7th century AD when the area was incorporated into the kingdom of Bernicia. The town, like the rest of the Lothian region, was ceded by King Edgar of England and became part of Scotland in the 10th century. Haddington received burghal status, one of the earliest to do so, during the reign of David I (1124–1153), giving it trading rights which encouraged its growth into a market town.

Today, Haddington has around 9,000 people and has a lovely town centre, as well as nice walks down by the River Tyne. This blip is looking towards St. Mary's Parish Church from the Nungate Bridge over the River Tyne.

I hope you have all had a good Sunday.
