Wallyford is a small village in East Lothian, Scotland, tucked on the coastal belt just east of Musselburgh and a short commuter rail ride from Edinburgh. It lies close to the southern edge of the Firth of Forth between the seaside towns of Musselburgh and Prestonpans, with easy access to coastal amenities and nearby historic sites such as the Prestonpans battlefield.

Historically a coal‑mining and industrial settlement, Wallyford has expanded in recent decades with new housing and become largely a commuter community while retaining local shops, clubs and a strong community spirit. Good rail links on the North Berwick line and proximity to attractions like local golf courses and Musselburgh racecourse mean residents can combine village life with easy access to jobs, leisure and heritage in the region.
