Dunbar
Hello and welcome to another video where we explore together chunks of Scottish history. Welcome to Dunbar.
Dunbar, is not on the list for most travellers, but an absolute gem for those who visit it. Dunbar is full of ancient ruins, a stunning coastline, a busy fishing port and a welcoming town centre.
An easy day trip from Edinburgh, Dunbar is an excellent destination for spending your day. if you like shots from this place, please check out my Etsy store where you can buy prints of my best photos from here.
Dunbar is known as the birthplace of John Muir. A conservationist who changed the world. John Muir was born here on April 1838. He emigrated to the USA aged 11 with his family in search of a better life. John Muir went on to become an inspirational person and is known as the Father of America’s National Parks. He often writes of Dunbar and how it inspired his love of nature.
Dunbar, Scotland's history dates to the 11th century, but archaeological excavations show evidence of civilization residing in the area long before that time. The ruins of Dunbar Castle sit at the entrance of Victoria harbour. The Castle has played witness to many major events in Scottish history. In the year 1370, Dunbar was named a royal burgh and Mary, Queen of Scots even stayed at the castle (more than once). However, the castle was purposely destroyed in 1568, leaving it in ruins. In September 1650, a Scottish army of 22,000 was defeated by a Cromwellian force, of half the size, at the Battle of Dunbar. Cromwell went on to take Edinburgh which led to Scotland becoming part of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1653.

The propellor in the harbour is there to commemorate Robert Wilson the inventor of the screw propellor, born in Dunbar in 1803. The statue on the High Street is of a young John Muir "Father of the National Parks" in the US, who was born in Dunbar in 1838.

Following an attack on Dunbar in 1781 by privateers in the service of the American Continental Navy in the later part of the American Revolutionary War (1775-83), a 16 gun battery was constructed on Lamer Island to protect the harbour against any future attack or invasion. There is local tradition that an initial attack by the notorious John Paul Jones was repulsed by a battery of four guns in the town in 1779. A second seaborne attack occurred in 1781 led by Captain George Fall which was also repulsed. The net effect was there was a perceived threat of attack or invasion at the harbour which resulted in the construction of a gun battery at Lamer Island with commanding views of the approaches to the harbour.
