This is Scotland's largest Parish Church and is called the Lamp of Lothian, for many years it was a partial ruin until restored between 1971 and 1973. It is very well worth visiting if you are ever in Haddington where the full story of this magnificent building is told.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Footpath alongside the Tyne, south of Haddington. At this point the all weather pitches of the leisure centre can be seen on the RHS. The Tyne is to the LHS of the path, with a narrow canal visible here on the RHS.

Dist:0.1km<br/>General view of the habitat - just an earthy bank between footpath and river. This was six days after the other photos were taken, and no sign of any bee activity - presumably they had done their job and are probably now ex-bees.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A single bee at rest on the bank - see [[2376317]] for a more general view of the burrows. The bees are about 12mm long.
