If these walls could talk... 🏰⚔🏴
One of Scotland's most photogenic and spectacular ruins, Tantallon Castle boasts a fiery history and a dramatic setting on the edge of the East Lothian coastline. Having seen more than its share of sieges, it goes down as the last of the grand medieval castles and was the centre of the Red Douglas dynasty. A relatively remote 14th century structure, Tantallon passed between Scots and English occupation over the centuries. This was primarily due to the Douglases allegiances alternating between the Crowns. Sieges occurred under James IV and V as well as the decisive attack in 1651 by Oliver Cromwells forces that it was never to recover from.
