Located in East Lothian, approximately 20 miles of Edinburgh in Scotland is the small village of Drem. It is bound in the south by Haddington, in the north east by North Berwick, in the north by Dirleton and in the northwest by Gullane.  It has a railway station which transits between Edinburgh and the North Berwick line and occasional offer service to Glasgow. The station is the last to be reached before the branching off of the track from the East Coast mainline.

During the Second World War, the former West Fenton Aerodrome was later rebuilt and known as the RAF Drem and in assisting the spit fire landing the Drem lighting System was also developed. Today some of the outbuildings now belong to the Fenton Barns retail and leisure and are used by local craftsmen, most especially furniture makers. A mile south of the village is the Chesters Hill Fort, an example of an Iron Age fort.
