John Muir's Birthplace, House museum in Dunbar, Scotland.

The three-story stone building at 126 High Street contains exhibits across multiple floors that document John Muir's life and environmental conservation work.

The birthplace opened as a museum in 1981 after American visitors seeking information about Muir's origins sparked renewed interest in the 1960s.

The museum displays showcase Muir's journey from his Scottish roots to becoming a pivotal figure in establishing national parks and environmental protection in America.

The museum remains closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, offering guided tours and educational programs during regular operating hours from Wednesday through Sunday.

The building marks the starting point of the John Muir Way, a long-distance path extending from Dunbar to Helensburgh across Scotland.
