A tour of the estate at historic Newhailes House in Musselburgh can be enjoyed throughout July and August.

There is the chance to learn more about its curling pond, ladies’ walk and shell grotto during the walk around the 18th-century grounds, which are part of the National Trust for Scotland visitor attractions.

A spokesperson said: “Designed to be a sensory experience for anyone walking through the woodland or open fields, it was the height of fashion when it was first created during the 1700s.”

The tour will start from the information hub in the Stables Courtyard at 2.30pm promptly. It is advised to wear suitable clothing for an outdoor walk, and dogs are welcome.
