Frizzels Wood is a picturesque forest located in East Lothian, Scotland. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this woodland offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby urban areas. The wood is situated near the small village of East Linton and is easily accessible by both car and public transport.

Frizzels Wood is predominantly composed of native Scottish tree species, such as oak, birch, and Scots pine. These trees create a dense canopy, providing shade and shelter for a diverse range of flora and fauna. The forest floor is covered with a rich carpet of mosses, ferns, and wildflowers, adding to the natural beauty of the area.

A network of well-maintained trails weaves through the wood, allowing visitors to explore its wonders at their own pace. These paths cater to various levels of fitness and skill, with options for leisurely strolls or more challenging hikes. Along the way, one can encounter enchanting wildlife, including red squirrels, deer, and a variety of bird species.

Frizzels Wood also holds historical significance, as it was once part of the estate of the nearby Biel House. Remnants of the past, such as old stone walls and ruins, can still be found within the forest, adding an air of mystery and intrigue.

Whether visitors are seeking solitude, natural beauty, or a place to reconnect with nature, Frizzels Wood offers a delightful experience for all. Its tranquil atmosphere, diverse ecosystems, and accessibility make it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.

Witches Stone. Marion Lille was murdered here in 1698. Women were not safe in the Spott area until well into the 18th century. The court responsible sat near by. The stone was until recently neglected, but has now been given some protection. It still has some folkloric value, coins are left on it.
