Cockenzie and Port Seton, East Lothian

Cockenzie and Port Seton is a unified town on the coast of East Lothian. Cockenzie and Port Seton has grown from what were initially two small fishing villages. The older parts of the town, between the two harbours, retain a more traditional look and feel, similar to many other small fishing villages on the east coast of Scotland. Whilst the localities of Cockenzie and Port Seton retain their separate identities, each having its own harbour, the two are often spoken of as one though by the joint name. The town is in the council area of East Lothian.
