Information board, the Port of Aberlady Aberlady was a port in the 16th century, with a last known shipment in 1875. Since then the bay has silted up, precluding its use as a port, but leaving an area of tidal sands that attracts wading birds. The artist’s impression shows the port as it would have looked c. 1560.

The first paragraph of smaller print reads:

&quot;The construction of a harbour at Aberlady was commissioned in 1535. The port building and custom house – ‘the Town of Haddington’s House’ – was commissioned one year later. Timber, tanning oil, linseed cake and guano were primary imports while large amounts of wool, hides and grain were exported.&quot;
