Pencaitland is an interesting little known village SE of Tranent. The Parish Church is a beautiful but complex mixture of styles and ages. The lower parts of the tower N,E and W alls are probably from the 13th century church, one of many built at this time along the S coast of the Forth. The present church dates from the 16th or 17th century with the tower dated 1631. The octagonal part is both belfry and dovecot.On the N side are two aisles of very different design and date. The Saltoun Aisle is mid 17th century while the Winton Aisle is a two bay chapel dated to the 13th century but probably later in an earlier style.This aisle is much altered mainly in the 17th century. The graveyard has many interesting stones.
