A PLAN to turn a storage building into an ice cream servery in stables at historic Newhailes Estate in Musselburgh has been given the green light by East Lothian Council. Drainage pipes will also be installed as part of the project at the visitor attraction, with its Palladian-style country house, which is run by the National Trust for Scotland (NTS). An NTS spokesperson said: “We’re pleased that this development can go ahead. It continues our work to revitalise visitor facilities at Newhailes House and Garden, one of Scotland’s national treasures.” It is hoped that work will start in the next few weeks, Covid-19 restrictions permitting. The plan is to open the ice cream servery for the summer season.
