Auldhame Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Auldhame Castle is a ruined L-plan tower house standing on a ridge above Seacliff beach, about 3 miles east of North Berwick in East Lothian, and less than half a mile from Tantallon Castle.
The castle was built in the 16th century, probably by Adam Otterburn of Reidhall, Lord Provost of Edinburgh. It consists of a three-storey main block with a projecting stair-tower. Part of a vaulted basement kitchen remains, with a bread oven. The upper floors are mostly gone. Some plaster remains on the walls, including traces of a moulded decorative frieze.
