Tantallon castle near North Berwick.
Mighty Tantallon Castle was built in the 1350's by a nobleman at the height of his power. In 1354, William Douglas came into possession of all his father's lands, as well as those of his uncle, the 'Good Sir James of Douglas', Robert the Bruce's great friend. The estates included the small but rich barony of North Berwick, east of Edinburgh. In 1358 William was created earl of Douglas, by which date the builders may already have been well advanced with his new fortress-residence of Tantallon.
In the 1380's, the house of Douglas split into two branches-known as the 'Black' and the 'Red'. Tantallon passed to the junior line, the 'Red Douglasas', earls of Angus. For the next 300 years the earls of Angus held sway at the castle, acting out their role as one of the most powerful baronial families in Scotland.
On three known occasions Tantallon became a fortress under siege. James IV besieged the castle in 1491, James V in 1528, and the English in 1651, during Oliver Cromwell's invasion. The first two were unsuccessful, but the damage wrought by Cromwell's heavy guns effectively brought to a close Tantallon's days as one of the mightiest castles in Scotland.

Tantallon Castle - Schottland
Tantallon Castle, Schottland
Tantallon Castle ist eine Burgruine in Schottland. Sie liegt auf einem hohen Kliff etwa fünf Kilometer östlich von North Berwick gegenüber dem Bass Rock an der Südküste des Firth of Forth
Die Geschichte der Burg geht zurück bis in das Jahr 1358. Zwölf Jahre zuvor war William Douglas aus Frankreich nach Schottland zurückgekehrt und beanspruchte sein Erbe. Indem er seinen Patenonkel ermordete, wurde er zum unbestrittenen Oberhaupt des Hauses Douglas und machte sich 1358 zum ersten Earl of Douglas. Der Bau der Burg resultiert vermutlich aus seinem neu erlangten Reichtum und Status. William starb 1384 und auch sein Erbe James starb bereits 1388 in der Schlacht von Otterburn. In der Folge teilte sich das Haus der Douglas in die „rote“ und die „schwarze“ Linie. Die Burg gehörte fortan den letzteren, den Earls of Angus.
Im Jahr 1491 wurde Tantallon von den Truppen Jakob IV., als Vergeltungsmaßnahme für einen Verrat, belagert. Die erfolglose Belagerung hinterließ nur wenig Schaden an der Burg. Als sie 1528 erneut, diesmal durch Jakob V. belagert wurde, wechselte sie den Besitzer und wurde in der folgenden Zeit an den Stand der Zeit angepasst.
Die erneuerten Festungsanlagen wurden erst 1650 im Zuge des Englischen Bürgerkriegs schwer beschädigt, als die Truppen von Oliver Cromwell unter George Monck die Festung angriffen. Tantallon wurde nach der erfolgreichen Belagerung als Ruine zurückgelassen, gelangte 1924 in Besitz des Staates und wird heute von Historic Scotland verwaltet.
Trotz der Zerstörungen vermittelt Tantallon auch heute noch einen Eindruck der einstigen Wirkung. Durch die Lage auf der Klippe ist die Burg von drei Seiten natürlich geschützt. Auf der vierten Seite verläuft vor der 15 Meter hohen und 3,5 Meter dicken Ringmauer noch ein Graben. Von den Türmen sind nach den verheerenden Artillerieangriffen nur noch Reste vorhanden. Der am besten erhaltene Turm ist der Mittelturm, der das Torhaus enthält. Er galt früher als Schwachstelle der Burg und wurde im Rahmen der Modernisierungsmaßnahmen, die Jakob V. 1528 eingeleitet hatte, verstärkt

North Berwick is a seaside town and former royal burgh in East Lothian, Scotland. North Berwick is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 25 miles north-east of Edinburgh.
North Berwick became a fashionable holiday resort in the nineteenth century because of its two sandy bays, the East (or Milsey) Bay and the West Bay, and continues to attract holidaymakers to this day. Golf courses at the ends of each bay are open to visitors.
Several of the Islands of the Forth are near the town of North Berwick and visible from it: e.g. Fidra, The Lamb, Craigleith, and Bass Rock; the latter hosts a thriving colony of birds, including puffins, gannets, and other seabirds. The Bass Rock appears white, but this is due largely to the gannets and their guano that cover much of its surface. The seabirds themselves can be observed at close range through remote cameras operated from the recently developed Scottish Seabird Centre near the harbour.
The town is served by North Berwick railway station. The North Berwick Line has provided a rail link with Edinburgh since the nineteenth century and the line, now operated by ScotRail, is still the principal transit link between the town and the capital.

Mighty Tantallon Castle was built in the mid-1300s by a nobleman at the height of his power. In 1354, William Douglas came into possession of all his father's lands, as well as those of his uncle, 'the Good Sir James of Douglas', a close friend of King Robert the Bruce. The estates included the barony of North Berwick. In 1358 William was created Earl of Douglas, by which date the masons may already have begun to build his new stronghold.
In the 1380s the dynastic house of Douglas split into two branches, known as the 'Black' and the 'Red'. Tantallon passed to the junior line, the 'Red Douglases', earls of Angus. For the next 300 years, the earls of Angus held sway at the castle. They were one of the most powerful baronial families in Scotland.
During this period the castle endured three great sieges, in 1491, 1528 and 1651. The last, by Oliver Cromwell's army, resulted in such devastating destruction that the mighty medieval fortress was abandoned to the birds.

Tantallon Castle & Hailes Castle, Scotland
Tantallon Castle is a mid-14th-century fortress, located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of North Berwick, in East Lothian, Scotland. It sits atop a promontory opposite the Bass Rock, looking out onto the Firth of Forth. The last medieval curtain wall castle to be constructed in Scotland,Tantallon comprises a single wall blocking off the headland, with the other three sides naturally protected by sea cliffs.
Tantallon was built in the mid 14th century by William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas. It was passed to his illegitimate son, later created Earl of Angus, and despite several sieges, it remained the property of his descendants for much of its history. It was besieged by King James IV in 1491, and again by his successor James V in 1528, when extensive damage was done. Tantallon saw action in the First Bishops' War in 1639, and again during Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1651, when it was once more severely damaged. It was sold by the Douglases in 1699
Hailes Castle is a mainly 14th century castle about a mile and a half south west of East Linton, East Lothian, Scotland. This castle, which has a fine riverside setting, belonged to the Hepburn family during the most important centuries of its existence
