AN EAST Lothian restaurant has featured in a list naming the best in the UK to visit this autumn.

The top 20 list compiled by The Guardian features restaurants with rooms across the country.

Among those on the list is the recently-opened The Leddie, in Aberlady.

Discussing The Leddie, the publication added: "This handsome hotel in the village of Aberlady was built in 1638 and for the past few decades was the popular Ducks Inn.

"It is now under new management, refurbished and renamed after the old name for the river that runs through the village.

“The 27 rooms, some of them dog-friendly, have a breezy coastal feel, with sage-and-sand decor.

"Around the busy restaurant, groups of locals, visiting golfers and cyclists and hotel guests tuck into chicken pies with huge puff pastry crowns and fish and chips, or enjoy the south-facing sun trap of a beer garden.

"There are walks to the beach at Aberlady through a nature reserve or along the sands at Gullane."
