The last coastal town in Lothian before the Borders, Dunbar was an important defensive place in the Middle Ages, as evidenced by the remains of its castle, overlooking the harbor. It was burned twice in the 16th century by the English, then occupied by Cromwellian troops in the 17th century. In the world, it is known above all as the birthplace of the naturalist John Muir, the father of the American national parks, whose legacy is very prevalent in the region. For 215 km between Dunbar and Helensburgh, the John Muir Way crosses the Lowlands from east to west, meeting the Scottish heritage and landscapes (johnmuirway.org).
