About Dunbar

Dunbar sits on East Lothian's coast, half an hour east of Edinburgh via the A1. This historic seaside town offers dramatic clifftop walks, sandy beaches, and connections to North Berwick and the Borders. The ruined medieval castle, perched on volcanic rock above the harbour, once sheltered Mary Queen of Scots and later served as Cromwell's garrison.
