AN OPPORTUNITY has arisen to own a property which is part of East Lothian and Scottish history.
Bankton House, south-east of Prestonpans, played a major role in the Battle of Prestonpans in 1745.
An apartment inside the historic home has recently been put on the market.
During the Battle of Prestonpans, which was part of the Jacobite Rebellion, Colonel James Gardiner was killed on the estate close to the house, which he owned.
The flat inside the B-listed building comes with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a reception room with access to the eight-acre estate.
The property description, advertised on Rettie, reads: "A spectacular B-Listed duplex 4-bedroom apartment, situated within a historic house with access to 8 acres of garden/grounds.
"Within walking distance of Prestonpans Train Station and easy commuting distance of Edinburgh."
The owners are looking for offers over £325,000.
