Innerwick


Innerwick (Scottish Gaelic:Inbhir Mhuice) is a coastal civil parish and small village, which lies in the east of East Lothian, 5 miles (8.0 km) from Dunbar and approximately 32 miles (51 km) from Edinburgh.
Innerwick Castle was originally a Stewart stronghold, then passed to a grandson of Walter fitz Gilbert de Hamilton, and remained in the Hamilton family, until its destruction. Alongside nearby Thornton Castle, a fortalice owing allegiance to the Earls of Home, it was destroyed after a siege by the invading forces of the Duke of Somerset, during the Rough Wooing.
