Editing East Lothian (section)

== Geography ==
East Lothian is predominantly rural. It has {{convert|40|mi|km|abbr=}} of coastline where the towns of [[Musselburgh]], [[Prestonpans]], [[Cockenzie and Port Seton]], [[Longniddry]], [[Gullane]], [[North Berwick]] and [[Dunbar]] lie along the coast of the [[Firth of Forth]]. The coast has several headlands and bays, most notably [[Gosford Bay]], [[Aberlady Bay]], [[Gullane Point]], [[Sandy Hirst]], [[Tyne Mouth]], [[Belhaven Bay]], [[Barns Ness]], [[Chapel Point]] and [[Torness Point]]. There are several small islands off the coast north of North Berwick, the largest of these being [[Fidra]], [[Lamb (island)|Lamb]], [[Craigleith]] and [[Bass Rock]].

Only two towns are landlocked, [[Tranent]] and Haddington. To the south are the [[Lammermuir Hills]] along the boundary with Berwickshire; it is here that [[Meikle Says Law]], the highest point in the county at {{convert|535|m|ft|abbr=}}, can be found. The [[River Tyne, Scotland|River Tyne]] flows through Haddington and several of East Lothian's villages, reaching the Firth of Forth near [[Belhaven, Scotland|Belhaven]]. The [[River Esk, Lothian|River Esk]] flows through Inveresk and Musselburgh where it empties at the north of the town into the Firth of Forth. Major bodies of water include [[Pressmennan Lake]], the [[Whiteadder Reservoir]], [[Hopes Reservoir]], [[Stobshiel Reservoir]] and [[Lammerloch Reservoir]].
