The village comprises typical rural housing, and some industry, including commercial pork farming, and a specialized plant which selectively breeds chickens to lay high-quality eggs. Nearby Ballencrieff Castle was built in 1507. The nearby "Ballencrief roundabout", on the busy commuter route between North Berwick and Edinburgh, has a reputation as an accident blackspot.
