Musselburgh and District Electric Light and Traction Company operated a passenger tramway service in Musselburgh between 1904 and 1928.〔The Golden Age of Tramways. Published by Taylor and Francis.〕 ==History==
The National Electric Construction Company built a 3-mile tramway in Musselburgh from the terminus of the Edinburgh terminus at Joppa, to Levenhall. This opened for service on 12 December 1904. In August 1905 the NEC set up the Musselburgh and District Electric Light and Traction Company to operate the line, and the system was expanded with an extension to Tranent Road in Cockenzie opening on 5 August 1909, and on 31 December 1909 to Port Seton bringing the total single line route to 6.55 miles. Due to narrow streets, the line was mostly single track, with passing loops at various places.〔CANMORE Database record No. 295336〕 Construction of the Port Seton Golf Club course was largely funded by the company, as their terminus was midway along the proposed course. It opened in 1912, utilising 100 acres of land were leased from Francis Charteris, 10th Earl of Wemyss.〔Celebrating club's 100 years of history, ''East Lothian Courier'', 8 Mar 2012〕
