Visitors from Yosemite Valley
We have been hosting parents, teachers and pupils from Yosemite Valley in California who came to East Lothian to find out more about the early childhood of John Muir, the founder of the National Parks system in the USA, who was born in Dunbar. The group visited the birthplace of John Muir and also areas of Dunbar which are associated with John’s childhood. After a whirlwind tour of Scotland - taking in Loch Ness, of course, the group returned to Dunbar and visited the local schools whilst also taking part in the John Muir Award. This is a great example of International Education with benefits for both our American visitors and the groups from East Lothian who visit Yosemite Valley.
