• Dirleton Castle - Our journey begins with a visit to the well-preserved Dirleton Castle. Situated in the fertile lands of the Dirleton barony, the castle guards the coastal route to Edinburgh from England, via North Berwick’s port. Visitors can wander through the stunning gardens and gain insights into medieval life and architecture.
• North Berwick - This charming seaside town, a former royal burgh, is located on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, about 20 miles (32 km) east-northeast of Edinburgh. In the nineteenth century, North Berwick became a popular holiday destination due to its two sandy bays, East (or Milsey) Bay and West Bay, and it continues to draw visitors. Enjoy strolling through the streets, walking along East Bay’s beach, or visiting the Scottish Seabird Centre to learn about local wildlife.
• Tantallon Castle - Tantallon Castle, a mid-14th-century fortress, lies 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) east of North Berwick. Perched on a promontory opposite Bass Rock, it overlooks the Firth of Forth. As the last medieval curtain wall castle built in Scotland, Tantallon features a single wall blocking the headland, with the other three sides naturally protected by sea cliffs. The views from the castle across the Firth of Forth are truly breathtaking.
• Athelstaneford - Our final stop is the quaint village of Athelstaneford, renowned for its connection to the Scottish flag. According to popular legend, the original Scottish saltire - a white diagonal cross on a sky blue background - was first adopted here.
