Troubled Past/Peaceful Present and a HFF!

Troubled Past/Peaceful Present and a HFF!
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

Good evening and many thanks Diana. Really appreciated. It was nice to see it in the sunshine and it was actually quite peaceful, -- well apart from the noise from the hundreds of nesting pairs of kittiwakes up around the castle area!. HFF and have a great weekend

Beautiful view of the harbour and ruins. You've reawakened my interest in a period of Scottish history. Dunbar castle was where Bothwell abducted Mary Queen of Scots to. They married and civil was broke out because it was claimed she and Bothwell were implicated in the murder of her second husband Darnley. Their army was defeated at Carberry, Mary was imprisoned first in Scotland, then England. Bothwell tried to gain support for her in Europe until he was imprisoned and died in Denmark. Who killed Darnley remains a mystery. Practically the whole Scottish nobility wanted rid of him so there were plenty of suspects.

Hi Jean and many thanks for your notes - they are really interesting. Some of this I could drag out of my memory from history lessons at school but the rest I didn't know. I am pleased my photo piqued your interest as I now know a lot more than I did before! Have a lovely weekend

HFF and a wonderful weekend, Doug

Ecobird club has replied to Doug Shepherd club
Thank you very much Doug. Really appreciated. I do like Dunbar for that reason - there is so much to see and though it is a working harbour it is still a relaxing place to be. The colony of kittiwakes that nest on and around the ruins at the top end of the image can be a bit noisy though!! A belated HFF and have a good weekend
