 Dunbar Grammar School (DGS) is a co-educational, non-denominational six year comprehensive in East Lothian, Scotland. In 2016 the school began a £10 million extension project to accommodate 1200 pupils, a significant expansion from the current 735 on the school roll. Completion of the project sees the creation of 15 new classrooms, a new social area with library resources and staff accommodation, as well as a new drama room and all-weather sports pitch. DGS students with an interest in Engineering have been encouraged to give contribution and feedback to the construction of the school. 

The current school building was constructed in 1961, and is located in the centre of Dunbar. The coastal town of Dunbar has a population of 8,500, and is 29 miles from Edinburgh. There are five houses at the school, each named for notable places and events around Dunstable; Winterfield (the name of a local golf course and park), Cromwell (after Oliver, who won a famous battle here), Victoria (after a harbour), Castle (after the remains of one of the strongest fortresses in Scotland), and Lauderdale (after a 18th century mansion at the bottom of Dunbar High Street).
