Day 19 - Monday 17th July - Dunbar - Tantallon castle

 Day 19 - Monday 17th July

Dunbar - Tantallon Castle

Weather: This morning we set off quite early to go to Tantallon Castle before visiting Ross & Margaret at 11:00 am. Luckily it was quite a nice day.

The first view of the castle is quite isolated -


We walked up to the old bridge over the tranch -


... and up to the old gateway -


... and out the other side -


The view, when I got through is huge -


There was an entrance way to the steps up to the top of the Castle wall -

The steps were pretty perilous with only a rope handrail -



Once at the top though the view was amazing - 


In the distance was the Bass Rock covered in seabirds -


... with a North Sea Oil Rig on the horizon.
