Uncovering East Lothian - Dunbar Castle | Dig It! TV

The brooding remains of an ancient fortress, a bloody five-month long siege and a formidable fourteenth-century female can mean only one location for this episode of #DigItTV. This time, Saga and the team take on Dunbar Castle. It may not seem like such an intimidating presence today, but do not be fooled; this once-powerful fortress watched over Scotland’s east coast for centuries and withstood many an unwelcome visitor. The most notable of whom, William Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, certainly met his match in the defender of the Castle, Agnes, Countess of Dunbar. Dive in to hear the captivating story of an unlikely underdog, and a resounding Scottish victory against all odds.
