PLANS are being drawn up to see nearly £1 million spent on a Medieval tower and doocot at the heart of Prestonpans. Councillors agreed to set aside £900,000 last September to restore Preston Tower, with the money previously earmarked for a controversial car park off Haddington’s Whittingehame Drive. East Lothian Council announced last week that the proposals – which will be split into two phases after evidence of protected species was found at the site – were taking shape. The first phase will see the restoration of the doocot, the installation of new architectural lighting and the installation of new interpretation/information boards, which will be developed in collaboration with the local community.
