Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt
Stone of Remembrance
On a quiet roadside, this unassuming stone recalls one of Scotland’s most tumultuous days: the Battle of Dunbar. This is a place to reflect on the courage and tragedy that shaped the destiny of a nation.
The Lochend Stones
Wander into Lochend Woods to find a trail of ancient-looking stones, each telling a slice of the region’s dramatic story with artful carvings. These modern markers connect today’s Dunbar with centuries past.
Dunbar Town House
On High Street stands the Town House, topped with a memorable pointy steeple—Dunbar’s old seat of power. Imagine lively council meetings, toll calls, and the clang of the old jail door beneath it's watchful clock.
John Muir's Birthplace
In the heart of Dunbar’s bustling High Street stands the modest stone house where a child once roamed the coastline—later to become America’s ‘Father of the National Parks’. Explore where curiosity grew into worldwide conservation.
Fisherman's Barometer Monument
Standing tall by the harbor, this unique monument offered Dunbar’s brave fishers a glimpse at the weather before risking the sea. Sculpted scenes above the barometer capture the tension and unity of fishing life in old Dunbar. Pause here to honor those whose perilous industry built the town.
Dunbar Battery
Step onto Lamer Island and discover Dunbar Battery, a sturdy sentinel that watched over the harbor and the sea beyond. Today, wildflowers mingle with echoes of cannon-fire, and you can stroll where soldiers once kept watch for threats. The Battery is a place where defense, healing, and the arts all meet by the North Sea breeze.
Dunbar's Propeller Pioneer
Get close to a marvel of mechanical ingenuity—this massive propeller honors one of Dunbar’s unsung trailblazers, whose inventions went on to power ships worldwide. Technology and tradition meet at the waterside in Dunbar.
Dunbar Castle
Towering above the harbor, the ruins of Dunbar Castle invite you to imagine bold defenders and royal secrets. Feel centuries of history swirling around the weathered stones as you enjoy views where battles once raged and monarchs sought safety.
