About the location

Little Spott Steading enjoys the best of both worlds: the peace and tranquillity of a
rural setting, with beautiful countryside on the doorstep, and the fantastic amenities
of a large town nearby in Dunbar. Dunbar is just a few minutes’ drive away from the
property, as well as the A1, offering a major road link across the county and further
afield, connecting to the M8/M9 motorway networks and allowing easy access to Edinburgh. Dunbar is a vibrant town on the breath-taking East Lothian coast, boasting white sandy beaches, John Muir Country Park, protected woodland areas, a train station (with a journey of just over 20 minutes taking you to Edinburgh or Berwick), and an old working harbour.

The town itself offers a lively High Street with award winning shops including fresh produce and grocers, bakers, butchers, banks, fine art galleries, coffee houses, restaurants, hardware shops, a florist, chemists, and a garden centre. On the outskirts of the town is a major supermarket, a larger garden centre, and a fastfood outlet, in addition to the famous DunBear: an imposing sculpture tribute to John Muir, designed by Andy Scott, the Scottish sculptor also responsible for the Kelpies. Dunbar’s state-of-the-art Leisure Pool offers a family-friendly pool with a wave machine and flume, a gym, and fitness classes, in addition to independently-owned Platinum Performance Centre which provides a top-of-the-range gym and martial arts facilities.

The town also benefits from a children’s soft play centre, tennis courts, large sports grounds, two golf courses, a surf school, and an extreme water sport centre, as well as a popular family park on the outskirts.
