Scope and Content Parish Church, Main Street, Aberlady, East Lothian, from south-west This view from the south-west, taken in 1979, shows the parish church. The tower dates from the 15th century, and has a vaulted ground floor. The body of the church was built in 1886 by William Young, who duplicated two post-Reformation burial aisles on the north side of the church. By the 1880s Aberlady was essentially the estate village for the Gosford Estate of the Earls of Wemyss & March. William Young was employed at the time this church was rebuilt in the extension of Gosford House. He also designed the Glasgow City Chambers. This village was formerly the port for the surrounding rich agricultural area, and for the town of Haddington, though it never had a harbour, vessels beaching on the sheltered sands. Though it does not seem formally to have been a burgh, it has a market cross, so presumably held markets. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
