After a walk through the cold, wind swept and abandonded Scottish countryside, I reached the gate of Tantallon Castle. However, that gate was closed.
When I saw a picture of Tantallon Castle in Edinburgh, it direclty appealed to me and I decided I had to visit it. After a half an hour train ride I arrived at the end of the line, in North Berwick, and got off the train with only two other passengers. It added to the feeling of having arrived in a remote place, yet not far from Edinburgh. I crossed the town, and continued walking eastwards, in the direction of Tantallon Castle. Unfortunately, I had to follow the main road, as there was no path running along the coast. I left the striking North Berwick Law, a hill sticking prominently out of the landscape behind the town, behind me as I walked into the empty, windswept Scottish countryside.
