Tantallon Castle
The castle ruins enjoy a superb setting above the cliffs overlooking the North Sea near North Berwick. I had been inspired to visit by a photograph in my recently-acquired tome, the ‘AA Treasures of Great Britain’. The lavish illustrations set me on a course that would continue for the next +40 years in my life, I made it my mission to explore every corner of the British Isles. Over that period, I pretty well managed to achieve that goal, with only the West Cumberland Coast, North Cornwall and a slew of Scottish islands escaping my attention. I soon learnt that one visit was never enough, as there were always fresh facets to explore. I hope I could one day return to Tantallon Castle and this corner of East Lothian - I am sure I would find fresh vistas to photograph.
