Tantallon
Cameron, David Young, Sir, 1865-1945 · 1930
Tantallon Castle, a romantic ruin 2 3/4 miles east of North Berwick, erstwhile the stronghold of the Douglasses, occupies a headland washed on the three sides by the sea and protected on the land side by a double moat. The vast fortress, dating from the fourteenth or fifteenth century, withstood in 1528 a siege by James V - thence, Camden records, 'Archibald Douglas Earle of Angus, wrought James the fifth, King of Scots, much teene and trouble.' The castle was enlarged during the reign of James VI, the Covenanters destroying it in 1639.
