Dirleton Castle is one of the oldest surviving strongholds in Scotland. Built in the 13th century, the fortress was residence to three successive noble families: the de Vauxs, Haliburtons and Ruthvens. It was abandoned as a noble residence after Oliver Cromwell’s siege of 1650 but was saved from falling into disrepair in 1660s when the Nisbet family took ownership. They transformed the castle into an eye-catching attraction; a status it has retained to this very day.
