Wallyford
Would you like to live in a little town that’s a village at heart, just 7 miles from Scotland’s great capital? Wallyford fits the bill for your new home. This popular commuting village is shoulder to shoulder with the town of Musselburgh, close to the shores of the Firth of Forth as it meets the sea. They are both bypassed by the A1, taking a step back from Scotland’s main east coast route to Edinburgh, whilst having a fantastic direct route into the city on the doorstep.

The A68 is the main route south to Northumberland, via Jedburgh, and the A7 takes you down to Carlisle. If you need to bypass Edinburgh, the A720 connects you with the M8 for Glasgow or the M90 for the Forth road bridge.

Close to the sea
The coast of East Lothian comes up trumps too, with golf courses, seaside towns like North Berwick and Dunbar and plenty of unspoilt beaches along the way.
