Interpreting the history

A history tour will take place on the last Saturday of each month, starting at 11 o’clock and lasting about an hour. Booking is required if you want to join the tour and the tour will only take place if demand is there.

The cost of the tour is £5 per adult or £10 for any family group.

In addition to the above please let us know if you are interested in a guided tour of Dunbar’s High Street with a multitude of interesting places to see, including John Muir’s Birthplace and the historic Town House.
