Roman Catholic Communities

Four patterns of population were evident: Haddington, with 690 Catholics in 1952, showed only slight growth (700) by 2000; similarly, Musselburgh grew in that period only marginally, from 1851 to 1890. North Berwick increased in size from 350 to 430. Dunbar, by contrast, more than doubled from 211 to 500, while, most dramatically, Prestonpans (with communities formerly at Levenhall, and latterly at Wallyford, Port Seton, Cockenzie and Longniddry) more than tripled in size from 800 to 2000. St Martin's Tranent, on the other hand, fell slightly from 1155 to 1000.
