Dunbar Lifeboats 200

Dunbar celebrated 200 years of Lifeboats being stationed in the town's harbour at the weekend. There was a parade up the High Street, which ended up at the harbour, and which we went along to watch.

It's amazing to think that volunteers have manned the lifeboats for two centuries, and have saved many, many lives when the seas have been rough, or whenever boats and people have got into trouble around the East Lothian coastline.

The Reaper, a boat/museum, which sailed across the Forth, from Fife. We went on board and had a look at what it was like, sailing in years gone by.
