Musselburgh has a population of 18,000 and is the largest town in East Lothian. This work looks at the town and its people over the last 150 years and includes many unpublished photographs of Musselburgh at work and play.
The Old Musselburgh Club is dedicated to preserving the history and traditions of the town. Members compiled Musselburgh IOP (2000) with the help of many people from the town who searched attics and outhouses to come up with previously unpublished material for the book. They have received the same support for the new project.
