Tantallon Castle

Highlights

• The stunning location – on a high cliff edge overlooking the Firth of Forth and the Bass Rock.
• The mighty stone curtain wall – absolutely the best 14th-century castle architecture anywhere in Scotland.
• The replica gun in the East Tower – an exact reproduction of the kind of gun that would have been used to defend the castle against James IV (1491) and James V (1528).
• The wildlife – rare flora and fauna inhabit the large promontory.
