A Kittiwake had to be rescued having become entangled in fishing line on the castle wall. Thankfully it was a happy ending and the bird flew off. If you are fishing from the shore please take special care not leave any fishing line in the sea or on the Shore and take your litter home or dispose of it responsibly in a nearby bin .

Tuesday 18th April saw both Dunbar ALB and ILB lifeboats tasked for the first time in 2017. Responding to a request from the UK Coastguard that a person was suspected of entering the water near the town's East Beach, volunteer crews launched both lifeboats within five minutes. However, just moments after launching, both assets were stood down with police and ambulance crews on scene.

At Dunbar’s west beach, adjacent to the harbour, gravity-defying stacks of stones were created at the first annual European stone stacking competition .It brought together a community of stackers from across Europe and featured some inspiring and breath-taking balances .The event was run by DSAT Ltd which is an art and music social enterprise based in Dunbar.

The entrance to the vaults under the Enjoy Leisure site collapsed some months ago. A G Thomson will be repairing the access to this historic site early in May.

The tides will be suitable for the repairs to the steps to be completed in June. This will greatly improve access to the boats for both harbour users and visitors.

The 1949 Fyfie fishing boat Marean owned by former Harbourmaster Bob Clunas will be moving onto a Victoria Harbour this summer. Those who have enjoyed seeing her in the historic Cromwell Harbour will still be able to enjoy this view when she moves back to her winter mooring.
