Spectacular clifftop fortress facing Bass Rock with dramatic North Sea views. The massive red sandstone walls and towers create an imposing sight. Children love exploring the ruined chambers while parents appreciate the stunning coastal scenery and seabird watching opportunities.

Advice from families who've visited
Fantastic views of Bass Rock and gannets. Can be very windy - dress warmly. Great for photos but supervise children near cliff edges. Combine with nearby Dirleton Castle.
