The John Gray Centre brings together East Lothian Council’s Archaeology, Museum, Archive and Local History Services, alongside Haddington’s branch library. The Centre is the result of a long-standing commitment by the Council to inspire the people of East Lothian to explore and engage with the history of their communities, environment and families by enhancing and further developing East Lothian Council’s heritage services

The project was funded by East Lothian Council, the Heritage Lottery Fund, and Historic Scotland and opened in March 2012, gaining a 5 star grading from VisitScotland shortly thereafter. The museum also has official accreditation from Museums Galleries Scotland and Arts Council England.
