Also in the town there are various museums that tell the story of Dunbar’s part in the wars between Scotland and England, and you can also visit the birthplace of John Muir – founder of America’s National Park system – who was born in a house on Dunbar’s High Street. Other activities could include a tour around Belhaven Brewery, one of Scotland’s oldest breweries or an afternoon at East Links Family Park where you’ll find llamas, sheep and other friendly animals.
Around Dunbar you are certain to find activities to interest you, a twenty minute train journey and you can find yourself in Edinburgh, or the National Seabird Centre in North Berwick is a good way to find out more before a trip to the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth, home to hundreds of seabirds. Going south takes you to the picturesque hamlet of Cove and on to Cockburnspath – the finishing point of the Southern Upland Way.
