Dunbar and East Linton

Dunbar and East Linton ward encompasses a stretch of East Lothian's coastline and its immediate agricultural hinterland. The area is defined by its coastal geology, with notable cliffs and rocky outcrops shaping the shoreline. Inland, the landscape transitions to productive farmland, with fields supporting arable crops and livestock. The ward includes the historic town of Dunbar, a working port with an active harbour, and the smaller settlement of East Linton, situated inland along the River Tyne.

The John Muir Birthplace in Dunbar highlights the area's connection to the naturalist and conservationist. Economic activity is centred on the harbour's fishing fleet, local agriculture, and some light industry. The presence of the decommissioned Torness nuclear power station is a significant feature on the coastline. Transport links include the main East Coast railway line and the A1 road, which bisect the ward, connecting its communities to Edinburgh and the north.
