Whitekirk and Tyninghame

Tyninghame and Whitekirk is a civil parish, centred on two small settlements in East Lothian, Scotland.
==Whitekirk==
Whitekirk is from North Berwick, from Dunbar and east of Edinburgh. A place of Christian worship from the earliest times and known in , having a holy well, now lost, dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, and a famous statue, likewise dedicated and known as ''Our Lady of Haddington''. It was on the pilgrim's route from St Andrews to Santiago de Compostela and described as a stopping point in the ''Iter pro peregrinis ad Compostellam.'', Book V of the Codex Calixtinus.
The shrine of Our Lady at Whitekirk was desecrated by the armies of Edward III of England in 1356, a period that would become known as the Burnt Candlemas. Later in the 14th century, the shrine of our lady was reconsecrated at the newly built Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Haddington. Whitekirk continued to be a place of pilgrimage, however, receiving visits from the future Pope Pius II and Kings James IV and James V.
In early 1435, Aeneas Piccolomini (Pope Pius II) was travelling to Scotland on a diplomatic mission as Papal legate, when his ship was beset by storms. After giving prayers to Our Lady, the ship and its crew made port safely at Dunbar, and having promised to walk barefoot to the nearest shrine to the virgin, Piccolomini set out for Whitekirk. The eight miles through the frozen countryside left him with rheumatism that he would complain about for the rest of his life.
The Covenanting preacher John Blackadder gave his last conventicle on the hill behind the Church in 1678.
The Holy Well dried up in the 19th century following agricultural drainage, but is thought to be located not far from the church building.
The current Church was last restored in 2005-6. Dramatic events in 1914 saw the Church set on fire, allegedly by Suffragette campaigners, although this has not been proven. The Kirk was restored by the office of Sir Robert Lorimer.
Whitekirk derives its name from the original colour of the Kirk: White, and was once known as 'Hamer' or the greater Ham. The Church is now the red of its underlying sandstone.
