About West Barns
West Barns is a quaint village in East Lothian, Scotland, located just 2 miles from Dunbar and 28 miles from Edinburgh. The area is in proximity to John Muir Country Park and Belhaven Bay, making it attractive for outdoor activities. Historically known for the West Barns Inn and a John Deere dealership, the latter has been replaced by the Thistly Cross Cider Company. The village also boasts a local bowling club and an amateur football team, West Barns Star, while primary school children attend West Barns Primary before progressing to Dunbar Grammar School.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (February 2026). This makes West Barns a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
