Tantallon Castle from Seacliff Harbour at the Gegan

Tantallon Castle was the imposing medieval stronghold of the influential Douglas Earls of Angus for around three centuries.

Built in the fourteenth century by the first such earl, William Douglas, and later updated to deal with more modern warfare, Tantallon Castle would survive numerous sieges before being utterly devastated by the army of Oliver Cromwell in 1651.
