Dunbar Town House Museum and Gallery
East Lothian
We will be holding guided tours of the building, allowing visitors access to parts of the Town House that aren’t always open to the public.
For over 400 years councillors and magistrates presided over the affairs of the burgh from our Council Chamber including the infamous East Lothian witch trials. Below the chamber is a grimly atmospheric jail with its original massive iron door which has become a popular ghost hunting venue. In the neighbouring debtor's cell the fireplace has been preserved complete with prisoners' graffiti.
UPDATE We're excited to announce that we will be hosting a free talk from our very own Dunbar and District History Society as part of our Doors Open Days programme.
- Sunday 29th September
- 2-3pm
- Community Room, Dunbar Town House
