Dirleton has two hotels, The Castle which looks on to the Village Green and The Open Arms Hotel. Other visitor attractions today include the Dirleton Gallery, Archerfield Links recently built with two 18-hole golf courses and hotel. Dirleton is a beautiful, quaint village surrounded by a beautiful landscape.

The church and manse of Dirleton stand immediately to the north of the village in a beautiful situation. The church has extensive Vicorian renovations, and a churchyard. It has a population of about 3300.

Three islands, Fidra, Ibris, and the Lamb, belong to the parish of Dirleton. Fidra is the largest, directly opposite the village, and a mile from the shore. Upon it there was once the castle of Tarbet, a possession of the Congalton family. There was also here St. Nicholas's Priory, dating from 1165, the ruins of which still exist. The monks had a ferry from the island to the mainland, from which the farm of Ferrygate takes its name.
