Tantallon Castle
A formidable stronghold set atop cliffs on the Firth of Forth, Tantallon Castle was the seat of the Douglas Earls of Angus, one of the most powerful baronial families in Scotland. Tantallon served as a noble fortification for more than three centuries and endured frequent sieges. Visitors can enjoy wild flowers in season and touch the replica cannon. Refreshments are available in the visitor centre.

Other facilities STB Category 3 - Ground floor access only for visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility, but the grounds can be explored.
Tantallon Castle is located 3 miles east of North Berwick off the A198. If you come from Edinburgh follow the signs to North Berwick. In North Berwick either follow the sign to Tantallon Castle or to the “Tantallon Castle Camping Ground” (guess where it got its name from). When you pass the camping ground, take it slowly. A 90 degree turn to the right is just a few minutes away.
Follow the road a few minutes more and the castle will appear on the left side. Steer your car into the parking place and have fun!
