Gullane

I had lunch in Gullane today - and got a Blip.

That sounds quite posh, but it was a chicken & avocado sandwich from the Co-op. Oh, and a wee bag of crisps.

From 1982 until 2010 my parents lived a couple of miles west of there in Aberlady. For 25 years prior to that we were regular visitors as my Dad was a member at The Gullane Golf Club (not to be confused with the village's other clubs - Muirfield and Luffness). For 6 years after 2010 my Mum lived in a care home in North Berwick, a few miles to the east. 

So I've been in and about the village for... well, most of my life.

I have eaten in the Old Clubhouse (see Blip) but it was a long time ago. The wee blue hut is something to do with the pitch & putt course which starts there. My son and I played it many times when he was 7 or 8.

The village is all about golf - and the beach. Gullane Golf Club has 3 courses - one reserved for members and the other two for the paying public (they even have a separate clubhouse for the riff raff to use). GCC hosts the Scottish Open at the moment. Muirfield hosts the British Open from time to time.
