Dunbar isn't just a harbour town on the East Lothian coast — it's the birthplace of the man often called the father of the national parks.
Born on the High Street in 1838
John Muir was born on 21 April 1838 at 126 High Street, Dunbar, above his father's grain and food store. The building is now the John Muir Birthplace museum.
From Dunbar to the Sierra Club
Muir's family emigrated to the United States in 1849. He went on to found the Sierra Club in 1892, serving as its first president until 1914, and became a pioneering voice for conservation; he revisited Dunbar only once, in 1893.
