John Muir’s Birthplace is open as usual!
You might have noticed our building looks a bit different at the moment! This is because we are having work done to repair and draft proof our windows. This is to prolong their life and improve thermal performance, hopefully resulting in a greener, more energy efficient building.
John Muir’s Birthplace is owned by the John Muir Birthplace Trust and is run in partnership with East Lothian Council. It has a very visible presence on Dunbar’s High Street and the Trust is keen to ensure the building is attractive and well maintained. We are grateful to the Dunbar Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme, BeGreen Dunbar and East Lothian Council for support with funding for this work, which is being carried out by Newtown Renovations Ltd.
We hope also to install secondary glazing and paint the exterior of the building in the not too distant future. Watch this space!
