A cylindrical 18th-century dovecot is situated behind the house, with dressed stone walls and a distinctive battlemented top.

The John Muir Way and a network of woodland trails provide excellent walking and cycling routes.
East Lothian is also a golfer's paradise, with numerous celebrated courses nearby including Craigielaw, Gullane, Muirfield, Archerfield and North Berwick. Longniddry Golf Club is just a short drive from the house. Other country pursuits such as horse riding, field sports and local shoots are also readily available in the area.
