CRAIGHALL-AND-NEW-CRAIGHALL, villages,
the former wholly in the parish of Inveresk, the latter
chiefly in Inveresk parish, and partly in that of Libberton,
in the county of Edinburgh; containing
respectively 501 and 336 inhabitants. Craighall is
situated about two miles south-south-west of Musselburgh.
Coal is abundant, and in the vicinity are extensive
coal-mines. Close to the village is Pinkie House,
the seat of Sir John Hope, Bart.; it was originally a
country seat of the abbots of Dunfermline, and after
the Reformation became private property. Although
still a large structure, it is evidently only part of a magnificent
design.
