St Mary's Haddington © Adrian Welch Context : Brief History of Haddington Haddington was a strategically important town, the capital of Haddingtonshire; Aberlady was its port.The Siege of Haddington took place in the mid 16th century when the English barricaded the town against the joint forces of Scots and French. Nungate Bridge is reputedly the oldest remaining in Scotland, and on the west side is where the French garrison gathered in 1549 (to assist the Scottish) to defeat the English holding siege to Haddington. At that time, in the days of Henry VIII, the Scottish Parliament met in Haddington.  building image © Adrian Welch Haddington Restaurant : Waterside Restaurant & Bistro Haddington Church - St Martin's Kirk
