Tantallon castle is owned and run by Historic Scotland and well worth a visit. Afterwards (or before) visit Drift which is very close to the castle. This is a cafe built from shipping containers. As well as great food the views of the sea with the Bass rock close by are spectacular.

Wonderful ruined castle on the coast, (Historic Scotland) near North Berwick and great beaches, about 45 minutes by car.

Tantallon Castle is a semi-ruined mid-14th-century fortress, located 5 kilometres east of North Berwick, in East Lothian, Scotland. It sits atop a promontory opposite the Bass Rock, looking out onto the Firth of Forth. Maintained by Historic Scotland, offering great views, historic information and ideal for families, a great day out.

Set high on a cliff edge and featuring a massive red sandstone curtain wall built in the 1300s, Tantallon Castle is Scotland's last grand medieval castle abandoned after 300 years having seen it's fair share of sieges. www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/tantallon-castle/history
