On the 20th of May Tuesday 2008 I went to Dunbar Castle with my class and my teacher. We looked at lots of things near the harbour. We walked to Dunbar Castle with Tara the County Ranger who we met at the swimming pool. We went to Dunbar Castle because we are lurning about Castles Tara showed us all the history of Dunbar Castles. We looked at a cannonball wich was siting on the edeg of the Castle. There was arrow slit windows all over the Castle. Then Tara showed us pictures of the vaults were they kept water and food cold. On Dunbar Castle all around the walls kittiwakes sat in there nests. 100 years ago there youst to be over 800 boats in Victoria harbour. There youst to be a battery near Dunbar Castle then It was a number of difrent hospitals for difrent things. Then we went to the old cromwell harbour and Tara told us about the battale of Doonhill some times Dunbar was ownd by the Englash or Scotish. It was frezen at the harbour I was almost a ice statue I enjoyed viseting Dunbar Castle I hope I can come back.

We went to Dunbar Castle on the twentieth of MAy 2008 and met up with Tara the County Ranger at the swimming pool because we are learning about castles in topic. Tara told us about the history of Dunbar Castle. They fired arrows from arrow slit windows and had cannons and fired cannon balls at enemys. There were cameras that took pictures of specical seagulls called kittywakes. We went to Victoria harbour and I saw a boat that was tipped over, Tara told us about the battery. There was a hospital for people that had diseases. We went to Cromwell harbour and when we went there the tide was coming in. We saw a barometer. There was fishermens memorials. I was really exited when we got there! And was cold when we got back! It was very fun. We will be going to Alnick castle! And that is an castle as well.
