The Found Gallery

The Found Gallery sits in Dunbar, a town that's seen better days but whose weathered seafront charm has a certain appeal. It's a small contemporary art space that punches above its weight - the kind of place that reminds you art doesn't need to happen in a big city to matter.

What you get here are rotating exhibitions of work by emerging and established artists, often with a Scottish focus. The space itself is intimate rather than grand, which means you're not wandering about lost in marble halls. You're actually looking at the work. I've found the programming thoughtful - they're not just throwing anything on the walls to fill the calendar.

It's worth an hour of your time if you're already in Dunbar, which you might be if you're staying at Belhaven Bay Caravan Park just down the road. You won't need to book ahead or worry about crowds. Families with kids interested in art will get something from it; those wanting Instagram moments might find it a bit low-key.

The town itself has a proper working harbour and a decent fish and chip shop, so you can make an afternoon of it. Don't expect a full day's entertainment here - treat it as part of a wider East Lothian wander rather than a destination in itself. The real draw is the coast and the wider Lowlands landscape. The gallery is a nice pit stop.
