East Lothian

Scotland

East Lothian shares 161 connections with 1054 places across 23 topics, with history and government forming the bulk of its network. Its ties run deep with Edinburgh and London, reflecting centuries of Scottish political and administrative life. The region's connections reach back to the Battle of Dunbar in 1650, when Cromwell's Parliamentary forces defeated the Scottish Covenanters on its soil, and extend to a more recent first: in 2016 East Lothian hosted the world's first food and drink business improvement district.
