Tantallon Castle
Tell us more about this venue.
Three miles east of North Berwick is Tantallon Castle, which sits on a promontory facing Bass Rock. Its 14th century architecture is protected on one side by a medieval curtain wall, while the other three sides are naturally protected by sea cliffs. It is said to be haunted by courtly figure dressed in a ruff. The lovely Seacliff beach is nearby.
A formidable stronghold set atop cliffs on the Firth of Forth, Tantallon Castle was the seat of the Douglas earls of Angus. Tantallon served as a noble fortification for more than three centuries and endured frequent sieges.
