Parish of Aberlady
"The house of Luffness is partly of very
ancient date. It stands within a
small fortification, constructed by
the French General "De Thermes", in
1549, in order to straiten the English
garrison in Haddington, by preventing
it from receiving supplies by sea: and
the ditch and rampart are still most
distinctly visible."
