Tantallon Castle was begin in the 1350's by William Douglas, one of the most powerful men in Scotland. He inherited from his father and his uncle, 'Good Sir Jame' of Douglas, a close ally of Robert the Bruce. By 1358, he became the first Earl of Douglas, by which time the castle was well underway.
Above, we see the reconstructed bridge leading to the Mid Tower, the main entrance to the castle.
We took a drive up the coast of the Firth to the north and west of Dunbar to the small town of North Berwick. Here, we find the Scottish Seabird Center. It turns out that it mostly a place to have a cuppa (which we did) and few souvenirs (which we also did) and support the Center's activities. Town wasn't large or terribly interesting. But there were things along the shore that I found photo worthy. Above is a much closer view of Bass Rock that you saw the other day. It is white on top from all the bird poop.
