OS1/15/34/41 [Page] 41 Parish of Dunbar Page in F [Form] 136 [108] Castle Continued [Note] -- The venerable ruins of the Castle of Dunbar are justly esteemed a remarkable piece of antiquity. There is no history nor tradition to fix the date of this building or to point out the person by whom it was erected. Camden narrates that Gospatrick Earl of Northumberland retiring into Scotland from the Norman Conquest was honoured by Malcolm Canmore with the Castle of Dunbar and Earldom of March and that his posterity afterwards took the surname of Dunbar. King Edward II. of England escaped to this Castle (then in the hands of the English) after the Battle of Bannockburn and thence fled to Berwick in a fisherman's boat. It has been large and built on several rocks, within the sea mark. It was exceeding strong and before the use of artillery quite impregnable. In some old Records it is called Earl Patrick's strong house. It was always esteemed a place of importance and the Key to Scotland on the S.E. [South East] borders Dunbar was for many years during the cruel wars between the two nations the scene of much action and bloodshed. The town was [Continued on page 42]

OS1/15/34/42 [Page] 42 Parish of Dunbar [Note] -- all before Castle Continued [from page 41] frequently ravaged and burnt. The Castle was often besieged and sometimes bravely defended particularly anno 1336. when under the government of a lady called Black Agnes of Dunbar, the wife of PatricK Earl of March and the Sister of Randolph Earl of Murray. This manly heroine in the absence of her husband by her vigilance and military courage forced Lord Montague to raise the siege & leave the Country, etc, etc. -- Sinclairs Stat. Acct. vol [Statistical Account volume] 5. page 484 "The Castle of Dunbar had often furnished a larger Theatre for warliKe exploits in earlier times The ruins of this fortalice which is seated on a rocK above the sea is the Dun-bar or strenght upon the summit of the ancient people. As the land in this vicinity was given by Malcolm Canmore to Cospatrick, the expatriated Earl of Northumberland we may easily suppose that he here strenghtened a castle which was completed by his warlike and opulent successors the Earls of Dunbar and March. The sieges which it successively sustained by the most warliKe princes are satisfactory proofs of its strenght from its natural position and artificial worKs. The foul deeds and flight of James Earl of Bothwell induced the parliament of December 1567 to direct its demolition. The neigh- -bouring town derived its existence and its name from the castelated cliff". -- Chalmers Caledonia vol [volume] 2 page [407]

Jaffray Mr George Purves 006 [Situation] About 1 5/8 miles south of Dunbar The portion of the valley lying between Broomhouse Mill and Osnalddean is supposed to be the place where the Scottish Army under the Earls of Buchan, Lennox and Mar, were met and defeated by the English under Earl Warrens in 1296. The Castle of Dunbar was then being besieged by the English and the Scots were marching to relieve that garrison. The action was short and decisive, the Scots being completely routed and pursued as far as SelKirk Forest.
OS1/15/34/101 [Page] 101 Parish of Spott Page in Forms 136 Edward, on receiving intelligence of this event, immediately dispatched the Earl of Warrens with a great body of his best traps to the Castle; (Dunbar) and the garrison being soon reduced to straits, obtained a cessation from hostilities for three days, in order to their sending a messenger to their King to inform him of their Situation, and to receive his orders about terms of Capitulation. But the place and persons within it were of so much consequence that Baliol resolved to hazard a battle for its relief. The Scottish Army is said to have consisted of 40,000 foot and 1500 horse ***. As soon as they appeared descending in martial array over the hill against Dunbar, which was on the third day After the message was sent to Baliol, Warrens, notwithstanding his inferior numbers, having left the servants of the great men of his Army, arrived with some soldiers to blocKade the place, advanced with the rest of his forces to meet the Scots. The English, in descending towards a valley And. [continued on page 102]
OS1/15/34/102 [Page] 102 Parish of Spott [continued from page 101] And marching over it, being obliged to break their ranks, their enemies imagined they were flying and expressed their excitation by a hideous noise of blowing their horns and howling. But when the English emerged from the hollow, and advanced to meet them in good order, all this noise was turned into silence, and in the sharp conflict that followed, the Scots were soon broken. The English pursued their scattered foes the space of seven or eight leagues, almost to the forest of SelKirK, and slew in the pursuit about 10,000. Ridpath's Border Hist: [History] Page 198 From the remains which have all different periods been discovered in this locality, it is conjectured that the forces must have been widely scattered, quantities of human bones having been dug up in the various fields in the neighbourhood, all agree however, in supposing this to be the place where the battle commenced. The Revd [Reverend] J. Jaffray of Dunbar, and Mr George Purves of Little PinKerton, pointed out the site. Captain James, R.E. [Royal Engineers] has also examined this ground and the name is written on plan according to the best of his judgement and according to the information he received in the locality.

OS1/15/34/108 DUNBAR CASTLE (Ruins of) Castle (in Ruins) Revd [Reverend] Thomas Burnet, Viewfield Mason's Chart of Dunbar Harbour 006 Dunbar Castle stands at the north end of the Town, its possition is peculiarly strong bold and Wild and deemed impregnable in Older times, which is quite evident from the numerous sieges it sustained. The time of its erection cannot be precisely ascertained but was evidently built by the Picts at an early Period of the Christian era, when these adventurers emigrated from Germany and fixed one of their principal seats in the Lothians. It is built of a red sandstone similar to that found in the different Quarries in the Neighbourhood. In the North West quarter of the ruins is an apartment about 12 feet square and nearly inaccessible which tradition denominates the room Occupied by Queen Mary during the time of her stay at Dunbar after her Celebrated Capture at Cramond Brig by Bothwell. On the meeting of Parliment in December 1567, in the reign of King James the 6th of Scotland An Act was passed and subsequently carried into effect for its total demolition. Thus fell the Castle of Dunbar after it sustained the Brunt of War and ravages of the storm for upwards of 7 Centuries of well authenticated history.
