Dunbar, Castle Street, Craig's Cooperage

Cooperage (18th Century), Warehouse (18th Century)

What is recorded here

Craig's Cooperage stood on Castle Street in Dunbar during the 18th Century, shaping wooden barrels for trade and storage. The workshop likely echoed with hammer blows and wet wood, feeding the busy port with containers for ale, oil or fish. A cooperage is not a passive building but a repeating act of craft, joining staves and hoops until raw timber becomes a vessel for something else.
