Tantallon features extensive earthworks and a very imposing red stone curtain wall that protects one side of a promontory that is otherwise surrounded by steep cliffs and the sea. The scenic location on the Firth of Forth, overlooking Bass Rock, would be impressive enough, but the sheer scale of the curtain wall, 15m (50ft) high and 3.5m (12ft) thick, make this castle stand out. You can climb to the top of this wall to enjoy the great views

The Private House Stay's Guide
East Lothian
East Lothian stretches Eastwards out along the Firth of Forth to North Berwick (a beautiful sea-side town that was once very fashionable with the rich and famous). Wonderful and ancient Golf courses abound everywhere. The area is served by a regular train service from Edinburgh to North Berwick which is much recommended for those who value the wonderful air quality and beautiful views, while the famous Bass Rock (the best place in Scotland to see gannets), The Law (a volcanic outcrop that dominates the town) and Tantallon Castle are spectacular attractions.
