history
Tyninghame is one of the oldest Anglo-Saxon settlements in Scotland. It can be traced back to the 7th century. In the middle of the 8th century the monk Baldred of Tyninghame lived there and established a Christian location in Scotland, which developed into an important monastery. The surviving fragments of St Baldred's Church on the grounds of today's Tyninghame House testify to this . In 941 the site was attacked by the Vikings . From 1094 a country house of the monks of St Cuthbert is listed on the site, to whom King Duncan II made the land available in the same year. By 1250 at the latest, it was owned by the Bishops of St Andrews , who used the property as a summer residence.
The village developed with the lands of Tyninghame and the mansion Tyninghame House . In the course of the redesign of the associated parks, Tyninghame was demolished in 1761 and rebuilt around one kilometer southwest. Here it lost its location directly on the Tyne bank. In the course of the 19th century Tyninghame was expanded and many preserved buildings from this phase of construction still come today. In 1969 the village was protected as a whole because of its architectural importance. Numerous buildings are also classified as architectural monuments.
