Dunbar, situated on the east coast of Scotland 30 miles from Edinburgh, is famous for its sunshine, spectacular coastline and Christmas Lights (or it should be)!
It is also the birthplace of the pioneering American naturalist, John Muir.
However, this town has so much else to offer and we invite you to come and explore it with this list of 60 things (in no particular order), as a starting point. Get out on the water, be active on the land and above all have fun with your kids (or spoil your inner kid).
In every walk with nature one receives more than he seeks”
