10 Best Castles in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler
"The spectacular Tantallon Castle is situated east of Edinburgh, right on a cliff's edge, and is surely one of the most magnificent ruins in Scotland. Having stood strong since the mid 1300s, despite three sieges, its last stand was in 1651 when Oliver Cromwell attacked. The damage was so severe that Tantallon was left to ruin—but what a glorious ruin indeed." - Freya Herring
