3About East Linton
East Linton is a pleasant East Lothian village on the A1, about 30km east of Edinburgh. The main route is straight down the A1 from the capital, whilst the B1407 connects to Haddington and local roads reach the coast at Dunbar. It's handy for both Edinburgh commuters and those exploring the Borders, with over 50 fast EV chargers nearby. The village sits amongst East Lothian's characteristic rolling farmland, enjoying the area's relatively dry climate. Preston Mill, an 18th-century watermill with its distinctive conical kiln, remains the village's most photographed landmark.
