Tyninghame

Tyninghame is a coastal village in East Lothian, where the River Tyne reaches the Firth of Forth.

The name 'Tyninghame' is Old English, name from the river. The original church at Tyninghame was founded by St Baldred, an anchorite described as the 'Apostle of the Lothians'. In 941 AD, the church and village of Tyninghame was destroyed by Olaf Goðfriþsson, the Norse King of Dublin, who died at Brunanburh later that year. (Read more)
