Things to see and do Musselburgh

Newhailes is a pleasant villa of the 17th century on a vast wooded park. If its front may seem a little austere, it has been finely decorated, in particular thanks to the Dalrymple family who was influential in the Enlightenment movement. The decorative elements are original, like Chinese wallpaper. The guided tour lasts 75 min. There is a 45 min version available at a reduced price (bookings possible). The Weehailes Park is fun for children.

The Musselburgh Museum changes its exhibitions every year or every two years, on themes related to the city or the Lothian. Its location and access to natural resources have helped to make the city a city of emulation and dynamism, taking an active part in the history of Scotland. In the past, the museum has dealt with war, the Roman Empire, the fishing industry or education. Be careful, it can sometimes close its doors during installation time. The programming is available online.
