Free entry! With its distinctive witch's hat tower and its bell, clock and sun dials the Town House has been the focus of Dunbar life since the 16th century. Our staff are always on hand to chat about the town and the history of the building. You can visit the council chamber - scene of the infamous witch trials - and a grimly atmospheric jail cell. The building is accessible on all levels and is home to a museum and gallery with changing historical and art exhibitions as well as a local history display area and research room managed by Dunbar and District History Society. Open annually April - September and Saturdays 2pm-4pm October - March.
Really interesting on the history of Dunbar. Very warm, friendly welcome and great art exhibition too! Free entry.
Arrived on a Saturday and left on a Thursday. Clean friendly site.
I didn't have enough time to explore the museum or the town properly. So, do yourself a favour and call in at the Town House Museum. The staff are passionate about their town, and rightly so. The Museum building alone is worth the trip and tour. Dunbar is a surprisingly pleasant town to visit. You will not regret it.
Meh 1 floor about dunbar 2nd a little art gallery I think they sell them too and 3rd floor no access due to being offices so that's it it was free and there are toilets on ground and first floor
Utter Garbage..some Posh overmade up middle aged woman, trying to sound posh, showed us a room with supposed "art" which frankly my grandkids could achieve better, then tried to convince us that the "artist" was a Genius because she did stained glass in Rome ..the 2nd room was 2 woman sitting in front of a portable TV watching a really LOUD video on local history ..it was laughable..couldn't wait to escape the place..what a waste of a building
Very informative .
