North Berwick: Tantallon Castle
Description
One of the most stunning castles in this part of the country, perched on the top of the cliffs, overlooking the Bass rock, the guardian of the entrance to the Firth of Forth. Whilst the castle is ruinous (and in danger of collapsing further as repairs carried out in the 16th Century used much softer stone than the original) there is still large parts standing, and stunning views of the coast to be had from the battlements

Getting There
From North Berwick you can catch the 120 bus, but they are very infrequent. Alternatively catch the X5 or 124 (see Dirleton castle) to the end of the route at the Tesco's and then walk the 2 miles, along a pretty level road to the castle. You can walk from the centre of town, but it's a pretty steep climb up to the Tantallon road (at the Tesco's!)
