The John Gray Centre brings together East Lothian Council’s Archaeology, Museum, Archive and Local History Services, alongside Haddington’s branch library. The Centre is the result of a long-standing commitment by the Council to inspire the people of East Lothian to explore and engage with the history of their communities, environment and families by enhancing and further developing East Lothian Council’s heritage services

Read All ReviewsLoved this new centre which is just fantastic, has coffee and tea machines, plenty seating and well set out. The staff very helpful and the computer room is an excellent idea and well used by the community. There are also training rooms which you can book, as i have attended training courses through my work, in there. The museum is upstairs but there is also a lift to access and a ramp outside for wheelchair users, excellent use of an old building, one of my favourites in haddington. Accessible parking available by showing the blue badges. Great accessible centre.
