Troubled Past/Peaceful Present and a HFF!

Dunbar Harbour, East Lothian, nestled at the foot of the Castle Dunbar ruins. In 1567 an Act of Parliament decreed that the castle should be destroyed following the Battle of Carberry Hill. It has been a ruin ever since then.

As a nod to the history of the castle I have added 'War (No More Trouble) performed here by Playing for Change

and I have added 'Trouble' ' by Cat Stevens

Thank you very much Doug. Really appreciated. I do like Dunbar for that reason - there is so much to see and though it is a working harbour it is still a relaxing place to be.
