Old Travel Blog Photograph Court Street Haddington Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of houses and people on Court Street in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland. The name Haddington is Anglo Saxon, dating from the sixth or seventh 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 tenth century. Haddington received burghal status, one of the earliest to do so, during the reign of David I, born 1124, died 1153, giving it trading rights which encouraged its growth into a market town.
