Fix this textOUILT probably in the fourteenth century, Tantallon Castle
Fix this textwas famous as a stronghold of the Douglas family. Its most
Fix this textimportant appearance in history is in connection with Archibald

Fix this textdeclared with an oath that while he lived the Douglases should

Fix this textfrom land by the wall and towers and inaccessible from the sea
Fix this textbecause of its precipices, is occupied by a pile of dilapidated build-

Fix this textthat remains of the favorite haunt of Scott’s Lady Clare.
