(Out & About) Dunbar, Scotland



When Tyler was over from California, we spent the first day of our trip to Scotland in Dunbar; a little seaside village about twenty minutes east of Edinburgh. Tyler spent most of his childhood growing up in Yosemite, so naturally, when we were due to visit Scotland, he wanted to take a trip to the birth place of John Muir; a Scottish born American naturalist, who was an early advocate of the preservation of wildlife. His activism also helped to preserve Yosemite National Park in California; something that is particularly close to Tyler's heart.

We had the most perfect time exploring this little fishing village. The views out to sea were beautiful and the weather was crisp but sunny. It was a great start to our weekend in Scotland.
