Longniddry

East Lothian Coast

The most prominent house in Longniddry is Gosford House on the Gosford Estate owned by the (Charteris Family) Earls of Wemyss and March, who resides here on his 5,000 acre estate. The house was design by Robert Adam and was completed in 1808. The House is available for private or corporate functions and weddings. The are many things to see in the grounds of Gosford and the grounds can be access with a permit for the day from the Bothy Farm Shop. I found that access is easy from the Bothy across from Craigielaw golf course. (free car park). Francis Charteris of Amisfield 6th Earl of Wemyss designed the landscape of the grounds in 1779 the New House foundation stone was laid in 1791. Stables were built in 1790. 

The Old Gosford House was demolished in 1938 and was used as a holiday home of King James V circa 1505.

Outlander the time travel TV series used the Gosford estate for the series.
