For a history and description of this castle, read the Dirleton Castle essay.

Image 1: Dirleton Castle. The front of the castle. Note that there is only one tower on this side of the castle (the tower on the right hand side was demolished several centuries ago).

Image 2: Small Tower. The small tower, found on the left side of the castle as you look at it in picture #1, is clearly shown in this picture. This was taken from a walkway. The rock that the castle was built on provided excellent defence.

Image 3: Stairs to Courtyard. This is the first view visitors get to the castle. These stairs lead up to the courtyard. The small tower in picture #2 is visible in the background.

Image 4: Main Wall Interior. This is a picture of the main wall, taken from the interior of the castle. The opening in the middle of the picture leads through the gate house and out to the bridge in the first picture.

These photographs were taken with a Nikon FG-20 manual SLR, using a Nikkor 24mm - 50mm f2.8 wide angle zoom lens. The images were captured on Kodak Ektachrome slide film.
