Inveresk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inveresk (Gaelic: Inbhir Easg) is to the south of Musselburgh in East Lothian, Scotland.
It is on the north bank of the River Esk, and the element "Inver" is from Gaelic inbhir and refers to a confluence (cf "Aberlady" which contains "Abe-" the Brythonic equivalent). Inveresk Lodge is to be found here and the gardens are open to the public. This was formerly the home of James Wedderburn. It was here that his son, Robert Wedderburn was given some small beer and a bent sixpence when he claimed kinship. Inveresk has also been home to Musselburgh Cricket Club for over 50 years, in picturesque Lewisvale Park.
