Tantallon Castle, a Red Douglas family stronghold. Spanish Armada wreck (1588). The Red Douglas, Earl of Angus died on the same night as the wreck & his men took this as a bad omen not to support the Spanish. There was also a wreck at St Andrews and Slains on the same night!

Eye-catching dawn over the rounded laccolithic lump of Traprain Law in East Lothian this morning.

It was my birthday yesterday and I wanted to drag my family out for a drizzly #BeachClean. They dutifully obliged but ended up actually enjoying it! 5 bags of litter collected and binned at Longniddry beach. Best finds were apparently a cuttlefish bone and bird skull @scotcoastclean.bsky.social

We open on the 1st of March and signs of spring are well and truly with us. Birds singing, the early flowers rising from the ground and more daylight!! It's worth getting out to see the sun rise and hopefully the weather keeps improving so we can wake up to scenes like this.
