Tantallon Castle. East Lothian, Scotland
Written by Karen Bryan
View to Bass Rock from Tantallon Castle
Tantallon Castle lies 3 miles east of North Berwick in East Lothian. The Castle was built in the 14th century as a fortress. For me the best thing about is it’s dramatic location on the coast opposite the Bass Rock.

You can climb up the even stone spiral staircase for great views over the Firth of Forth.
thanks for these views of Tantallon Castle, I am just enjoying a book sent from Scotland they mention this castle and others so I am trying to place them. This one I did not know of, the book it GREAT it is The Broons’ Day Oot!
Christina – Good to hear that you enjoyed my photso of Tantallon Castle. It’s not that well known even in Scotland, partly as it’s a semi ruin. The most popular castles seems to be those that have an interior to visit (maybe to shelter from the Scottish weather). I didn’t realise that the Broons had visited Tantallon.
I found out about this castle while reading up on my family history…you see, I’m a Douglas…its amazing to see part of my family’s history! Thanks for such beautiful pictures for someone like me, who has never been to Scotland!
