Inveresk

Inveresk (Gaelic: Inbhir Easg) is a village in East Lothian, Scotland situated 5⁄8 mi (1 km) to the south of Musselburgh.

It is situated on slightly elevated ground on the north bank of a loop of the River Esk.

This was formerly the mansion of James Wedderburn who had made his fortune as a slave-owning sugar plantation owner in Jamaica.

Eskhill was owned by Thomas Mylne in 1710 and incorporates a finely carved 1760 doorpiece moved from a demolition in George Square, Edinburgh in the 1970s.

[9] The village is dominated by St. Michael's church that stands at its west end on the summit of a hill overlooking Musselburgh.
