Longniddry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Longniddry is a village in East Lothian, Scotland, United Kingdom.

The 2001 census recorded a population of 2613. Longniddry is primarily a dormitory town for commuters to Edinburgh, with good transport links by road and rail (Longniddry railway station is on the North Berwick Line) to the capital. The village is predominantly middle-class in character: over 80% of residents own their own homes, and more than a third of people are in professional or managerial occupations.

The village is largely quiet and has good local, community based resources, including local shops, a library and a community centre. Like many costal towns within East Lothian, Longniddry benefits from its beautiful sandy beach adjacent to the golf course. This stretch of local coastline is known as Longniddry Bents.

Longniddry is currently represented on East Lothian Council by the Conservative Councillor Peter Ford.

As of June 2005, Longniddry Community Council comprises 9 members: Stuart Baxter (Vice Chair), Susanne Gilmour, Gillian Mulhern, David Rose (Chair), Neil Stuart, Iain Stewart, Tommy Thomson, Lesley White (Treasurer), and Marilyn Young.
