East Linton is a small riverside village in East Lothian, Scotland, tucked in the Tyne valley where the River Tyne winds through rolling arable countryside. It sits within easy reach of Haddington and is a comfortable commute from Edinburgh, giving it a mix of rural character and commuter appeal.

The village has medieval roots and a strong milling heritage - most visibly at Preston Mill - and retains many stone buildings and a conservation feel. In recent years improved rail links and a lively community scene of shops, pubs and volunteer groups have bolstered a modest local economy while making it a popular spot for walkers, cyclists and anyone keen on East Lothian’s landscape and history.
