[Note] -- The village of Dirleton, situated near the centre of the parish,
on the road from Edinburgh to North Berwick, is one of the most
beautiful in Scotland. Mrs Hamilton Nisbet Fergusson, the principal
proprietor in the parish, has rebuilt the greater number of the houses
here in the cottage ornèe style. Each cottage is surrounded with
its own plot of flowers and shrubs; and the whole are scattered
along two sides of the village green, of which a third side is
occupied with the magnificent remains of Dirleton Castle, and its
fine garden and bowling-green. -- (Fullartons Gazetteer of Scotland)
