Drem-Gullane Path Campaign

More good news for active travel in East Lothian. Work progressing on another privately-funded cycling/footpath in Gullane. Connecting residential development at Saltcoats field - via community Millennium Wood - to Memorial Park.👏

@dgcorepath @CALAHOMES @CyclingUKScot Exciting news! 👏 Path improvement projects like this one help local people to walk and wheel for their local journeys, and to vital services 👣

Making connections. A new cycle/walking path in Gullane funded by @CALAHOMES has been given the green light by East Lothian Council. 👏eastlothiancourier.com/news/26004725.…

Great news! @CALAHOMES planning application to retain the upgraded tarmac path on the Saltcoats core path has been approved by @ELCouncil. Since its upgrade, the core path has become a popular and well-used route for walking and cycling by local residents and visitors.

This upgraded historic core path is already a valued path for Gullane locals. @CALAHOMES has applied to retain it permanently after heavy use by walkers, cyclists & families. Let's keep this community asset. Please retweet. Link to comment: pa.eastlothian.gov.uk/online-applica…

Cold and frosty start to the day with a walk along the @CALAHOMES-funded path to the Mill Burn, near West Fenton. Stopped to take in this beautiful sunrise.

A fantastic initiative led by East Lothian Climate Hub. Get involved planting 500m of hedgerow at Ballencrieff Farm. Hedgerows support 2,000+ wildlife species. No experience needed—just enthusiasm.

Fab morning walk along core path 464 in East Lothian.

Cyclists stopping off at Deli Gallo in Gullane — proof that active travel is good for business! Good for health, good for business, more local spending. 💚 💪

NEWS 📢 Key landowner — Fenton Barns, the family-run farm & retail village — has backed the Drem–Gullane path. This is significant: they control a key stretch of the proposed route between the two villages. 👉dgcorepath.wixsite.com/website/post/m… Thanks 👏 @CyclingUKScot & @walking_scot

Hungry riders & walkers 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚴— make No.10 your Gullane pit stop. Trays of fresh bakes and a new East Lothian bakery worth backing.

NEWS 📣 People power works! 💪 Following sustained pressure from our group + MSPs & MP, @ELCouncil has agreed to engage with a key landowner to establish his current position on assembling the land required to build the path.

A beautiful evening walk along the path to West Fenton — golden sunset, crisp air, pure autumn magic.

Thanks @elcourier! Creating safer routes supports sustainable tourism and active travel. That’s why Archerfield Estates Ltd, one of East Lothian’s flagship visitor destinations, backs the call for a safe Drem @ScotRail-Gullane link.🚴🚶 ℹ️eastlothiancourier.com/news/25513202.…

We asked: Press @norriehamp to get senior Council officers talking with the Drem landowner + @ELCouncil about a preferred route. ✅Yes: @_MWhitfield @PaulMcLennan7 @CraigWHoy1 @D_G_Alexander #CllrJeremyFindlay ❌No: @WalkWheelCycleT

@elcourier shining a spotlight on Drem speeding traffic. Red faces for @ELCouncil & @WalkWheelCycleT: their 2022 report prioritised vehicles over the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. eastlothiancourier.com/news/25507105.…

Great story by @BrianDonnellyHT @heraldscotland One of Scotland’s oldest landowning families has backed our campaign! 💪 heraldscotland.com/news/25510231.…

20+ years on and we’re still pushing—stronger than ever—for a safe route between Gullane and Drem @ScotRail. For kids. For families. For commuters. For everyone.

2025: Drem villagers demand slower traffic. 2022: @ELCouncil & @WWCTrustScot put cars before people walking and cycling. We called this out in 2022—@CyclingUKScot agreed: vehicles over people was the wrong choice. ➡️bit.ly/3EZ7OwQ

NEWS: 📢🚨Residents of Drem have handed a petition to @ELCouncil calling for urgent action on speeding. In recent weeks, a van demolished the village’s pedestrian island. Safety must come first— @norriehamp must act now to slow traffic before tragedy strikes.
