Description
Dunbar Harbour is a busy working harbour with a commercial fleet landing mainly shellfish. There is a thriving Sailing Club and a Coastal Rowing Club and attracts many diving clubs to enjoy the seas around Dunbar.
When John Muir was growing up in Dunbar, one of the largest and most exciting developments in the town’s history began. The long awaited Victoria Harbour, built in the shelter of the castle ruins, was opened in 1842.
Work on building the Cromwell Harbour started in 1655 and the structure, with its small basin, was completed about 1730.The harbour was used by Oliver Cromwell and his invasion force that defeated the Scottish Covenanters at the Battle of Dunbar.
