It is bounded by the parishes of Tynningham and PrestonKirk on the west, Stenton and Spott on the South, Innerwick on the east and the German Ocean on the north. A detached portion of the parish called Dunbar outer common consisting of about 7 square miles is separated from the parish by the intervention of the parishes of Spott and Stenton, being bounded by those parishes on the north, by Spott and Innerwick on the east, by the detached portions of Spott and Stenton in the south, and by Whittingham on the south and west.

Site of Battle
English and Scotch
3rd Sepr 1650 |
G Rennie, Oxwell Mains, Dunbar
Mr Denholm, Broxmouth, Dunbar |
007 |
A considerable tract of arable Land S.E. [South East] of Broxmouth, and in a Line Between Brands mile and Catcraig; generally considered to be the Site of a Battle fought between the Parliamentary Forces Under Cromwell, and the Scotch army commanded by General Leslie. No definite Spot can be ascertained, but the report of Cromwell to parliament says that "the Enemy were chased 8 miles"; where this portion of ground was brought under the plough, human Skeletons were turned up here and at intervals throughout the district; and at a Spot Marked A near vaults, about a dozen graves were recently discovered; theywere all composed of Rough Stones, and paved at the bottom but no bones or human remains were recognised. About 15 Chains South of A on digging the foundations for a summer House, on a Small Hill; Two Graves were opened, composed of Rough Stones of a different kind from those at A, the graves were not paved but contained human bones in tolerable preservation. I cannot ascertain that the above remains are relics of the Slain of the Same action. |

SITE OF BATTLE (SUPPOSED) |
Site of Battle (Supposed) |
Hist [History]: of Dunbar (Miller's)
The Revd [Reverend] J. Jaffray Manse, Dunbar
Mr George Purves Little Pinkerton |
007 |
The portion of the valley lying between Broomhouse Mill and Oswaldean is supposed to be the place where the Scots Army under the Earls of Buchan, Lennox and Mar, were met and defeated by the English under Earl Warrene, in 1296.
The castle of Dunbar was then being besieged by the English, And the party of the Scots defeated were on their way to reinforce that garison.
The action was short and decisive, the Scots being routed and pursued as far a Selkirk Forest. The Revd [Reverend] John Jaffray was refered to to point out the site of this battle, and it is his opinion, that the valley above mentioned is the place. James Miller, in his Hist. [History] of Dunbar, supposes it to be the valley near Oswaldean, the Farmers of the neighbourhood are of the same opinion. |
