I had one of my best pals over visiting from the US, we’re both real ale fans and have visited several breweries in California where he now lives, and we’ve long talked about visiting the home of one of our favourite Scottish tipples. This was a properly special afternoon out, a really interesting tour of a truly historic site in sunny seaside Dunbar, culminating in a tasting of several of their stunning ales in the beautifully appointed ‘Monk’s Retreat’ onsite bar. Tommy the tour guide was just great, full of facts and passion for the place and the subject, Vicky in Reception looked after the booking, sold us a selection of their fabulous fare (try the Oatmeal Stout) from their onsite off-license and welcomed us fabulously well, and the Head of Brewing who managed to find us a case of the excellent ‘Wee Heavy’ but whose name I am embarrassed to have forgotten (apologies), was a complete star. Great value at £8 for a pleasant couple of hours (£5 for concessions), only half an hour east of Edinburgh, I would thoroughly recommend a visit, thanks to all the staff down there, I’ll definitely be back.

Interesting and friendly little museum full of fairly amazing facts about this fascinating man that did so much for the environment and the preservation of the natural world. The museum is free, small but packed with easily digestible information that make it well worth the visit. It's well laid out so never boring, interactive and with a lot of visual stuff that makes it well worth the visit. Take your time and don't miss it

We had a visit to Torness today we were fortunate as we were only 3 in our group, our guide Maureen was great lots of information and answered all our questions. It is a fantastic piece of engineering all British built, this tour I would highly recommend for everyone as long as you can get up stairs. The diagrams are very informative and easy to understand, don't miss this visit.
