Dunbar is a town on the North Sea coast in East Lothian, Scotland, UK.
In the area, volcanic necks (pipes) are exposed in the cliffs and on the intertidal wave-cut platform. These structures mark the sites of former underground channels that fed early Carboniferous (Dinantian) volcanos. Erosion has since removed the volcanos so that the pipes are now seen at various levels below the original surface of eruption. The rocks in them consist mainly of tuffs, with subordinate agglomerates and alkali-basaltic intrusions. They are surrounded by sediments of Upper Old Red Sandstone and Lower Carboniferous age through which the original feeder channels penetrated.
