    The John Gray Centre in Haddington, Scotland, is a well-regarded local history museum and archive that offers visitors an informative experience about the area's heritage. The museum houses a diverse collection of artifacts and exhibits that showcase the rich history of East Lothian. Visitors often appreciate the interactive displays and the use of technology to bring history to life. The centre is praised for its accessibility and the friendly, knowledgeable staff who are always ready to assist.

While the museum is generally well-maintained, a small number of visitors have commented on occasional technical issues with interactive displays.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, the John Gray Centre is generally considered a worthwhile visit for those interested in local history.
