Haddingtonshire (or East Lothian), maritime co.
in SE. of Scotland; is- bounded NW., N., and NE. by
the Firth of Forth and the North Sea, SE. and S. by
Berwickshire, and W. by Edinburghshire (or Mid-
Lothian) ; greatest length, N. and S., 17 miles; greatest
breadth, E. and W., 26 miles; seaboard, 31f miles;
area, 173,298 ac., pop. 38,502. The coast along the
Firth of Forth is flat and sandy ; along the North Sea
it is bold and rocky. In the S. are the Lammermuir
Hills, whence the surface slopes gently to the sea, in a
vast plain, watered by the river Tyne, and broken by
the Garleton Hills, and by the isolated summits of
Traprain Law and North Berwick Law. Of the culti-
vated part of the co.—finely diversified by woods and
plantations—the soil is mostly a clayey loam, and is
generally fertile, and Haddington is one of the fore-
most agricultural counties of Scotland. (For agricul-
tural statistics, see Appendix.) Great numbers of
sheep are fed on the Lammermuir Hills. The mfrs. are
unimportant; they consist of two or three foundries,
breweries, potteries, brickworks, salt pans, a paper
mill, a distillery, &c. The western part of the co.
forms the eastern margin of the Mid-Lothian coalfield,
and is rich in coal and limestone, which are extensively
worked. Fishing and fish-curing are carried on at
Dunbar, Cockenzie, and other points. The co. comprises
23 pars, and parts of 2 others; the royal and police
burghs of Dunbar, Haddington, aud North Berwick, and
the police burghs of East Linton, Prestonpans, and
Tranent. It returns 1 member to Parliament.
