At the end of September, 1999, the new Parish of Traprain was formed by the union of the previously linked Parishes of Prestonkirk, Stenton and Whittingehame. The name, Traprain, was chosen because of the imposing presence of Traprain Law, visible from throughout the parish and with many historical and Christian associations.
