The former Ducks Inn in Aberlady in East Lothian will re-open this summer as The Leddie – in honour of the original name of the river that runs through the town.
Bought by Northern Irish private investment company Wirefox, via its Marram hotels business in September 2023, it has undergone an extensive refurbishment and re-design to become a luxury 27 bed hotel, a bar and 70 cover restaurant and lounge with a menu designed to celebrate East Lothian’s local larder.
Wirefox has also announced that Robert Clark has been appointed as General Manager. Robert has previously been General Manager of The Scran & Scallie in Edinburgh and the Bonnie Badger in Gullane.
He said, “I am delighted to have joined Wirefox at the early stages of the Marram collection and cannot wait to launch this beautiful property after all the hard work that has gone into it, from everyone involved. It is an exciting time and we are focussed on providing great hospitality for all of our guests, and we can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you this summer.”
