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 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEECTfAWSLk and I have added 'Trouble' ' by Cat Stevens www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1tRB7-aBr8

Turn! - HFF!

Robert Wilson's Propeller, Dunbar Harbour. The son of a fisherman, Robert Wilson from Dunbar left school at nine years old. He went on to invent, among other things, a type of screw propeller which he demonstrated in 1827. The patent however was awarded to another inventor in 1836. I have added the song 'It's My Turn' by Aretha Franklin who sadly died today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPpFxYLLycg As a second tribute I have added 'Respect' as my own mark of respect to this great singer, and also for the young boy who had little in the way of education but is still recognised today for his achievements www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGuW7pD_fhg
