The castle was repeatedly besieged from the s to the s, and whether or not the attackers took the castle they usually burned down the town to make the trip worthwhile. Coupled with this, its position as a handy port on the English side of Edinburgh has often made it well worth capturing in its own right. This remained true as recently as September , when Cromwell used it as his supply base prior to his defeat of the Scottish Royalists at the Battle of Dunbar.

The main road from Newcastle to Edinburgh has always tended to bypass Dunbar, as the A1 does today. This attractive town has much to offer the passing traveller and makes an excellent first - or last - port of call in Scotland for those travelling to and from England.

The focus of today's Dunbar is its High Street. This offers a range of shops. It is also home to the strikingly attractive Town House, now a museum and tourist information centre.

Anyone who's not been to Dunbar for a few years might be surprised to find the Town House sporting a coat of cream harling following a major refurbishment.
