Gullane
Gullane is a community on the southern coast of the Firth of Forth in East Lothian on the eastern coast of Scotland. There has actually been a church in the town since the ninth century. The ruins of the Old Church of St. Andrew constructed in the twelfth century can still be seen at the western entrance to the town; the church was deserted after a series of sandstorms made it pointless, and Dirleton Parish Church took its location. Gullane Bents, the village's award-winning coastline, is backed by huge sand dunes that over the last few years have ended up being instead overgrown by invasive bushes like sea-buckthorn. Gullane becomes part of the John Muir Way, a long-distance path along the coast in between Musselburgh as well as Dunglass. The regional population includes a greater than average percent of elderly individuals, but likewise draws in young family members and also travelers for Edinburgh. Urbanisation has resulted in some recent housing developments being accepted on greenbelt land around the town, and also Gullane is acquiring appeal as a commuter village for neighboring Edinburgh (twenty two miles away), regardless of the poor transport to the village. Services include the village hall and a selection of shops including a chip shop. There is a primary school, as well as regional children go to high school 5 miles away in North Berwick. The Scottish Fire Solution College was found on Gullane's Main Street.
