Location and driving directions.

Winton House lies close to the village of Pencaitland in East Lothian, 14 miles south-east of the centre of Edinburgh and close to the A1 and central Scotland's motorway network. In the days of little motor traffic, it was possible to hear the one o'clock gun from Edinburgh Castle! Today's visitors can be in the city centre in less than thirty minutes.
