Tantallon Castle visit with the dog, Scotland
EH39 5PN
Description
A good ruin with a view always makes a good stop for kids of all ages and dogs too. This castle has all sorts of gruesome features to delight the bloodthirsty. When we visited in 2023 much of the castle interior and near the walls was out of bounds for safety reasons. The dogs weren't bothered but we were a bit disappointed.
