The beautiful conservation village of Gifford
lies about twenty miles east
of Edinburgh and four miles south of Haddington, East Lothian.
Set at the foot of the Lammermuir Hills the village makes an
ideal base for
exploring the history and scenery of the surrounding countryside
or
discovering the delights of Scotland's capital city.
There are two local golf courses to enjoy with Gifford Golf
Course being
described by Golf World magazine as "The best nine holes in
Scotland".
Numerous other courses are within easy reach of the village.
Cyclists, hill-walkers and ramblers are catered for by a number
of
well maintained & signposted local routes & paths.
After the exertions of the day, a meal or a drink can be enjoyed
in the
two local hotels both of which have well appointed lounge bars
and
dining areas or, for a more local flavour, the public bars offer
a wide
selection of beers, wines, spirits and colourful characters.
Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, yet only a
twenty minute drive
from the capital, Gifford is truly "the best of both worlds".

2010
A great deal
has been going on in the village and Gifford
On-Line will be reflecting these events.
Notable recent developments include the
re-consecration of
Yester Kirk by the
Moderator of The General Assembly of The
Church of Scotland, The Right Reverend
William C. Hewitt BD. DipPS on the
10th of January.
The formal re-opening of the
restored Kirk and the new Community
Facilities will take place on Tuesday 12th
January at 2.00 p.m. ( Invitation only
because of limited space).
There is an important consultation exercise
by the Community Council, a new
website for the Yester Community Movie
Association, the latest edition of the
excellent Gifford Newsletter and quite
importantly the re-opening of the
Station Road bridge to vehicles.
Please follow
this link to a
holding page for these and other other items
of news.
Thanks to
Ian Whyte for this photograph from the spire
taken in October shortly before the
scaffolding removal.
