It appears from the information collected on the ground from the given authorities, that the site of the Battle of Pinkie encompassed a large extent of ground ranging from near the foot of the Pinkes to the farms of Falside and Carberry by Howe Mire, here the Scots came in close contact with the English. The Battle now commenced and raged with the greatest fury extending through the lands of Wallyford and Barbachlaw, until at last the Scots, were forced to fly, some towards Edinburgh and others in the direction of Dalkeith. From time to time large quantities of human
bones have been found, in the tract of land described and at present, some are finding in a quarry at the foot of Pinkie Brae Also pieces of spears, swords, Horses shoes and officers epaulettes have been found in a flat piece of land, then a moss lying immediately south of Pinkie Burn House. |

A parish in the extreme north east of Edinburghshire, bounded on the north by the Firth of Forth; on the east by Haddingtonshire; on the south east byCranston, on the south by Dalkeith on the south west by Newton; and on the west by Liberton and Duddingston. The name Inveresk appears plainly to be Gaelic words "Inbhir Uisge". Inver Esk would therefore signify the the confluence of the Esk, and the Esk itself signifies water. This parish is in the Presbytery of Dalkeith and synod of Lothian and Tweeddale. The Patron is the Duke of Buccleuch. |

A small town in the parish of Inveresk situated on the western bank of the River Esk, opposite the town of Musselburgh, of which it forms a suburb. It consists of one principal thoroughfare called a High Street, some subordinate streets parallel to it and several cross streets [and] alleys, and attached clusters of houses.It is - as its name imports - a fishing town, and is inhabited almost wholly by Fishermen and others engaged in a seafaring life. At the west end of the town is a small harbour and modernly erected stone pier which are frequently visited by vessels for the landing of [tim]ber and other goods for the purpose of evading payment of the heavy harbour dues of Leith. A railway [runs] down upon the town from the west and cuts of for some distance a small wing & upon the north. [It] is within the Parliamentary borough of Musselburgh and is governed by the corporation of that town. In [con]sequence of its being virtually a portion of Musselburgh, it looks chiefly to the west side of the esk for its places of worship, yet it possesses, within its own bounds, two chapels situated respectively in a lane leading [ ]thward from the high street, and in the diverging thoroughfare from that street toward the New Bridge. Population in 1831, including Musselburgh and Newbigging 7024.

It is supposed that on the top of this brae were buried those who were killed at the battle of Pinkie. Human remains have been dug up from time to time alon the top of the brae.
