    Landmark
    Open Details
    Dirleton is located on a rock. In this part of Lothian, the terrain is more or less flat, but in some places rocks stick out of the ground, giving the landscape a variety. Very impressive castle bridge. The moat is 15 meters wide, and the entrance is quite high, and it looks spectacular. The bridge on which you will enter the gate of the castle is probably built in the twentieth century, but on medieval drawings it looks almost the same.
    The castle is located in a large garden. It is not medieval, but very pretty and attractive. In addition to simply beautiful plants, the huge thistle flowers attract attention. And as well, an incredible breed of tree, planted by James Law.
