Tantallon Castle
Landmark
Open Details
Tantallon Castle is a fortress built in the middle of the 14th century. Retaining its original appearance quite well, the castle demonstrates perfectly the environment in which the Earls of the Angus clan lived with their followers. The castle was built long before the advent of powder artillery. Its high, massive walls were simply to withstand attacks using stone-throwing machines.
Now Tantallon Castle is under the care of the organization Historic Scotland. Ghosts of the castle differ photogenic. People in medieval clothes, as no one sees them, periodically get into the lenses of cameras.

Dirleton Castle & Gardens
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.
