Are you a fan of visiting castles? Along the cliff face of the East Lothian coast sits Tantallon Castle, a once strong tall structure but now ruins as it sits with broken walls and an open grassy field. The castle was built back in 1350 along the coast to perfectly face the famous Bass rock. With the castle being built right next to the sea the walk will include some amazing scenic views so don’t forget your camera!
Famously, the castle’s defence was so strong due to it only having one entrance across a draw bridge, and nothing but the cliff face around the back of the castle so invaders would find it impossible to gain access that way. Due to its tall walls and strong structure the castle was able to withstand a lot of abuse even standing tall against battering rams and trebuchets which are stone-throwing machines.
