Why visit

The reward is a memorable clifftop ruin with Bass Rock views, red sandstone walls, open-air exploring and enough castle drama to make a shorter East Lothian stop feel worthwhile.

Access

Historic Environment Scotland currently lists no visitor access to the east tower staircase, doocot and vaults, with the rest of the castle open.
