Cockenzie and Port Seton (Scots: Cockennie[2] [ˈkukɪne]; Scottish Gaelic: Cùil Choinnich, lit.

Cockenzie and Port Seton has continued to grow over the years and is now a dormitory town for Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh.

Demolition of the main plant is now complete and ownership transferred to East Lothian Council who are now looking for businesses to occupy the site.

[5] Plans for an Energy Park on the site, to be used for the construction and repair of wind turbines, were scrapped in March 2015.

The older parts of the town, between the two harbours, retain a more traditional look and feel, similar to many other small fishing villages on the east coast of Scotland.

[7] The salt pans in Cockenzie were established by George Seton, 3rd Earl of Winton around 1630, possibly slightly later.

Excavation resumed in 2021 and revealed the remains of the ash pits, which were a later addition to the pan house built within the original walls.

The promenade area and the creation of a coastal walk, a part of the John Muir Way, have improved the environment in recent years.

[12] The town has a community centre with activities such as a youth club, football pitches and a skatepark within the grounds.
