The quaint coastal town of Dunbar is located just 30 miles east of Edinburgh on a stretch of coastline that’s famed for being one of the most scenic in Scotland. This part of East Lothian is extraordinarily pretty, with rugged coastlines, formidable castles and picturesque harbours seemingly around every corner, yet it’s almost criminally under-visited by tourists. That’s kind of understandable due to the closeness of Edinburgh and its myriad tourist attractions, but if you have the time I thoroughly recommend you at least try to see East Lothian by visiting Dunbar – the popular seaside town that’s famous for its association with the conservationist John Muir. This picturesque town is steeped in history, but perhaps the focal point is the old harbour that sits on the eastern edge nestled amongst an assortment of attractive former warehouses and granaries.
