THE HISTORY OF DUNBAR, FROM THE EARLIEST RECORDS TO THE PRESENT TIME. BY JAMES MILLER, AUTHOR OF THE HISTORY OF HADDINGTON," ETC. There watching high the least alarms, Thy rough, rude fortress gleams afar, Like some bold veteran grey in arms, And marked with many a seamy scar; The pond'rous wall and massy bar, Have oft withstood assailing war, And oft repelled the invader's stroke.—Burns.
