Farm’s museum plan

A technology entrepreneur has unveiled plans to turn a historic farm in East Lothian into a museum. George Mackintosh bought Papple Steading in 2017 before adding the farmhouse and adjoining Papple and Papana Woods. Papple Steading was part of the Whittingehame Estate – owned by former Prime Minister Arthur Balfour – and was one of the agricultural improvement movement’s ‘model farms’ during the 19th century. papple.com
