Tantallon Castle is a ruined mid-14th-century fortress 5 kilometres east of North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland, standing on a promontory opposite the Bass Rock across the Firth of Forth. Built by William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas, it is the last medieval curtain wall castle constructed in Scotland: a single wall blocks the headland, while sea cliffs protect the other three sides. It is a scheduled monument in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.
