Victoria Harbour
The fishing boats berthed in this calm harbour are guarded by two historic fortifications.
About
Victoria Harbour was built in the shadow of Dunbarâs ruined medieval castle in the 1840s. The castle ruins are now home to over 600 nesting kittiwakes - the most accessible colony in Britain. At the opposite end of the harbour is an 18th century fort and battery, built to defend the town against the privateers who stalked the area during the American War of Independence. Today the battery is a seaside park, amphitheatre, and art space. This well-protected harbour is a safe-haven for a lively commercial fishing fleet that frequently lands shellfish - meaning Dunbarâs a great place to enjoy some seafood. Sammy, the resident seal is often seen patrolling the harbor in hopes of the fishermen giving him a fresh fish supper.
