We absolutely loved Tantallon Castle. The scenery around it is stunning - it is right on the sea with isles spotted in the surrounding waters - and the towns nearby are very friendly with great food.…Full review by Laur6767

There are a lot of steep stairs inside the ruins. You could probably access most of the grounds around the castle (beautiful view) but it's a fair distance from the car park and you would be not able to see much in the castle.
