High Street Tours. Dunbar, Scotland

Dunbar Bear Scotland
A steel sculpture of a bear in tribute to conservationist John Muir has been unveiled in Dunbar, East Lothian. The welded artwork, standing at five metres (16ft) high, was sculpted by Scottish artist Andy Scott, the man behind the Kelpies
Dunbar Vintage Vehicle Rally 1984
This was a popular annual event in Dunbar from the 70's through to the 90's. The loss of the Barracks parade ground when the new swimming pool was built probably led to its downfall. The vehicles are shown on their way out of Dunbar to follow a route through the East Lothian countryside then back to the town. Today, the gift shop is no more, the waiting room / toilets have been converted into shops and even Greco's Coffee Shop has closed. Recorded using a Sony F1 betamax system and copied onto VHS.
Dunbar Harbour Kittiwakes
Dunbar Castle kittiwake colony mid May 2018.
This kitiwake colony is in a beautiful location that is easily accessible to wheelchair users. Close up views of the colony are easy from the harbour side. Other wildlife includes fulmars, sea ducks and 'Sammy' the resident seal and his friends 'Samantha' and 'Samuel'.
Dunbar is often overlooked in favour of North Berwick, its better-heeled neighbour. Dunbar is a friendly town with good facilities, long beaches and a great swimming pool. I like it there...

????????♀️Hello everyone love from Dunbar Castleสวัสดีค่า คิดถึงทุกคนค่า????????
Dunbar castle was built by Earl of Northumbria, first stone castle was In 1070 second castle was built in 13 s century by Alexander II of Scotland, this was one of most impressive and imposing castle in Scotland..In AD 678 St Wilfrid, Bishop of Northumbria, was briefly held prisoner at Dunbar Castle. The 9th-century Pictish king Kenneth MacAlpin took possession of the castle, or, according to some accounts, attacked and burned it. That early castle would have been built of timber and earthworks.
When William the Conqueror seized the English throne in 1066 the north of the country rose in revolt. William responded with the ferocious Harrying of the North, leaving vast swaths of territory destroyed. Leading nobles were forced to flee abroad or north to Scotland. Among those nobles was Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria.
Gospatric took refuge with Malcolm III of Scotland. Malcolm accepted Gospatric as a vassal and gave him estates in southern Scotland, including Dunbar. He also named Gospatric the 1st Earl of Dunbar. It was Gospatric who erected the first stone fortifications at Dunbar Castle, replacing the older timber and earthworks.
Gospatric's descendants held Dunbar Castle until the late 13th century. Edward I captured the castle in 1297. His son Edward II took shelter at the castle following his ignominious defeat at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
The castle was regained by the Scots but in 1338 the English attacked again. Dunbar was defended by Agness, Countess of Douglas, known as Black Agnes. She and her troops held out for 6 weeks and forced the English to withdraw.
The Douglas family were frequently in and out of favour, and when the 11th Earl of Dunbar was found guilty of treason the castle was slighted to make it militarily unusable. James IV later had it rebuilt.
In 1489 Scottish ships commanded by Sir Andrew Wood defeated an English navy off Dunbar.
In 1515 the castle was strengthened by the Duke of Albany to take advantage of modern advances in artillery. The new defences did not help Dunbar Castle survive an attack by the English in 1548 and the castle was badly burned. The Scot's French allies strengthened the castle defences once more in 1550.
In 1560 the Treaty of Leith (also known as the Treaty of Edinburgh) brought hostilities between England and Scotland to a temporary halt. One of the clauses in the Treaty of Leith specified that Dunbar Castle's defences should be dismantled.
Mary, Queen of ScotsMary, Queen of Scots
MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS
Dunbar Castle is closely linked to two major events in the tumultuous life of Scotland's most famous queen. In 1566 Mary came here with her second husband, Lord Henry Darnley, just two days after the murder of Mary's secretary David Rizzio - a murder in which Darnley himself was heavily involved.
Darnley had quickly begged Mary's forgiveness for his involvement in the murder, then, fearing for his safety after betraying his fellow conspirators, rode ahead to Dunbar Castle. Mary was heavily pregnant at the time with Darnley's child, the future James VI of Scotland but he showed no concern for her welfare, only for his own skin. At Dunbar Castle Mary was able to rally support, and within a week she returned in force to Edinburgh, forcing the conspirators to flee to England.
She returned to Dunbar later in 1566 on a royal progress.
Darnley was murdered the following year, possibly with Mary's knowledge. Her favourite, James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, was the keeper of Dunbar Castle. He abducted the queen and brought her to Dunbar, ostensibly for her own safety.
One rumour suggests that at Dunbar he raped the queen, forcing her to marry him to protect her honour. Another version of events says that the couple put forward the story of rape to legitimise an affair with a man said to be behind her husband's murder.
What we do know for certain is that the couple controversially married shortly afterwards.
After Mary was forced to abdicate the throne and flee to England Dunbar Castle surrendered to her enemies. The defences were destroyed once again and the once-proud castle was dismantled.
Most of the ruins were pulled down in 1844 and used to create the harbour we see today. The Victorian harbour had its own artillery batery, parts of which remain. The artillery emplacement changed the shape of the harbour and boats now pass directly through the former castle site. Only a few fragmentary masonry walls survive along with remnants of vaulted chambers.
In 1993 part of the castle ruins collapsed into the sea. The castle was then closed to the public due to safety concerns. The ruins cannot be explored but you can easily see them from several vantage points around the harbour...
