About Blindwells

Blindwells is a new town being built on the site of a former opencast coal mine between Tranent and Cockenzie, planned to be one of Scotland's largest new settlements.

The development is designed to be largely self-contained, with housing, schools, and local services built from the ground up on reclaimed industrial land.

It sits close to the A198 and within easy reach of Tranent, Prestonpans, and Cockenzie for existing shops and services while the town takes shape.

Blindwells marks a new chapter in East Lothian's development, bringing new community to an area with a deep industrial heritage.

About East Lothian

East Lothian is a coastal county on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, stretching from the outskirts of Edinburgh to the Berwickshire border.

It combines some of Scotland's most productive agricultural land with a dramatic coastline, the Lammermuir Hills to the south, and a string of towns and villages that each have their own distinct character.

The county town is Haddington, but Musselburgh - the largest town - sits on Edinburgh's eastern edge and draws many who want East Lothian life with easy city access.

North Berwick, Dunbar, Gullane, and Dirleton are among the most sought-after places to live in Scotland, valued for their beaches, golf, and quality of life.

East Lothian has strong transport links - the A1 and two rail lines connect the region to Edinburgh quickly - making it a practical choice for those working in the city.
