'Dirleton is situated about 2 miles west of North Berwick, just off the A198 on the B1345. The village, which has a population of around 700 people, is one of the most picturesque villages in Scotland. It is centered on a large, flat village green, with all the main visitor attractions within short walking distance. The village dates from the early 16th century.

The Church of Scotland Parish Church was built in 1612. In 1836 the tower was decorated with gothic style pinnacles. The Church is located down a short lane at the western end of the green. '
