In 1549, whilst Haddington was under siege, Somerset also had to face Kett’s Rebellion in Norwich. The rebellion may have forced Somerset to retreat from his position in Scotland. By connecting events in History we can get a better picture of the time!

"The history, archaeology and local scenery is outstanding...." ✍️

An archaeological illustrator has compiled his artwork based on East Lothian's history (including Romans, sieges and coastal industries) into a colouring book to support @1722waggonway: https://t.co/eNAax36yYD

Looking through old photos and maps to recreate the landscape of Haddington in the 16th Century. Using a mixture of older etchings, descriptions and maps, we hope to be able to create a truer picture of Haddington during the siege than has ever existed before! #History #Siege
