Preston, Seton and Gosford

The Preston, Seton and Gosford ward encompasses a coastal stretch of East Lothian, blending residential settlements with agricultural land. It includes the villages of Prestonpans, Cockenzie and Port Seton, historically tied to fishing, salt panning, and coal mining. The area features a working harbour and a long promenade along the Firth of Forth. The landscape is characterised by open fields and the grounds of Gosford House, a large estate with woodland.

Inland, the ward contains the planned village of Longniddry and parts of the larger town of Tranent. The area is marked by the main railway line connecting Edinburgh to East Lothian. A notable local landmark is the Prestongrange Museum, a heritage centre located on the site of a former colliery. The ward's geography includes both coastal and inland communities, with land use divided between housing and farming.
