No references!! I'll see what I can do. David Lauder 20:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid this is still very poor. Miller is useless as a reliable authority for the history of the Castle as his sources are mainly discredited; try 'DR Perry Castle Park, Dunbar: 2000 Years on a Fortified Headland Edinburgh 2000', which backs the archaeology with up-to-date interpretation of the sources. Example: 'Patrick de Dunbar', 1005 can only be a backwards formulation assuming a territorial surname before their time. The current transcript description is also mostly wrong in interpretation - the south battery was just that, there is no evidence of a keep, 'Mary's apartment' is in reality one of the lowest cellars of the great hall.... I suppose I'll just have to go away and have a shot myself. Time, time, time... 86.160.64.96 08:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and I think the owner is wrong: it's certainly not John Muir Trust, but may be Dunbar Harbour Trust. Need to check. 86.160.64.96 08:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
