About Overhailes Farm

Overhailes Farm is situated in the heart of East Lothian between the quiet village of East Linton and the historic town of Haddington. The farm is now mainly arable, though we have some cattle during the Winter months. The Wright family have farmed at Overhailes since the 1950's.

The farm overlooks the River Tyne and Hailes Castle, originally built in the late 1200's but later expanded during the 1300's and 1400's. East Lothian is home to a number of other castles (Dirleton, Tantallon and the remains of Dunbar Castle) and numerous other attractions such as the Scottish Seabird Centre, the National Museum of Flight (where you can explore Concorde) and the Myreton Motor Museum.

Overhailes farmhouse was built around 1780, though parts have been added and removed over the years. In 2002 it was completely renovated, with only the stone staircase and four outer walls standing at one point!

The Wright family welcome guests to their farm. It is a beautiful area where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of a rural retreat and re-charge from the hectic pace we all seem to live these days.
