Das Castle ist der Inbegriff der trutzigen Stärke und Pracht einer mittelalterlichen Burg. Die Geschichte ist eng mit der Geschichte der Familien verknüpft, die hier lebten – die de Vaux, die Halyburtons und die Ruthvens. Die Gebäude entsprachen ihren Bedürfnissen und spiegelten ihren Status wider. Dabei hatten eine gezielte Planung und der Erhalt des Alten jedoch eine geringere Priorität, als die aktuelle Mode und die Bemühung mit allen Kräften den Nachbarn deutlich sichtbar zu übertrumpfen. Die eindruckvolle Festung wurde im Jahre 1220 von John de Vaux, nachdem die Familie in den Besitz der Ländereien von Gullane und Dirleton gekommen war, als Ersatz für eine ältere Burg errichtet, die man hier ein Jahrhundert zuvor gebaut hatte. Nach dem die Burg den Erben von John de Vaux 400 Jahre als Wohnsitz gedient hatte, wurde sie verlassen, geriet aber nicht in Vergessenheit. Heute wacht sie über die eleganten Gartenanlagen ihrer späteren Besitzer, die die Burgruine als besonders Zierstück in ihren Garten integrierten. - 2 - Dirleton Castle Rundgang durch das Dirleton Castle Der Rundgang beginnt bei den Wehranlagen, dem „Äußeren“ Castle und führt durch die Inneren Gebäudes, dem Inneren Castle und endet in den Gartenanlagen.

  • The Best of Walking in Scotland
    1 The Best of Walking in Scotland Scotland is a land of contrasts—an ancient country with a modern outlook, where well-loved traditions mingle with the latest technology. Here you can tread on some of the oldest rocks in the world and wander among standing stones and chambered cairns erected 5,000 years ago. However, that little cottage you pass may have a high-speed Internet connection and be home to a jewelry designer or an architect of eco-friendly houses. Certainly, you’ll encounter all the shortbread and tartan you expect, though kilts are normally reserved for weddings and football matches. But far more traditional, although less obviously so, is the warm welcome you’ll receive from the locals. The farther you go from the big cities, the more time people have to talk—you’ll find they have a genuine interest in where you come from and what you do. Scotland’s greatest asset is its clean, green landscapes, where walkers can fill their lungs with pure, fresh air. It may only be a wee (small) country, but it has a variety of walks to rival anywhere in the world. As well as the splendid mountain hikes to be found in the Highlands, there’s an equal extent of Lowland terrain with gentle riverside walks and woodland strolls. The indented coastline and numerous islands mean that there are thousands of miles of shore to explore, while the many low hills offer exquisite views over the countryside. There’s walking to suit all ages and tastes. Some glorious countryside with rolling farmland, lush woods, and grassy hills can be reached within an hour’s drive of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH Historic Environment Scotland – Scottish Charity No. SC045925 Principal Office: Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh EH9 1SH DIRLETON CASTLE SYNOPSIS Dirleton Castle, in the heart of the pretty East Lothian village of that name, is one of Scotland's oldest masonry castles. Built around the middle of the 13th century, it remained a noble residence for four centuries. Three families resided there, and each has left its mark on the fabric – the de Vauxs (13th century – the cluster of towers at the SW corner), the Haliburtons (14th/15th century – the entrance gatehouse and east range) and the Ruthvens (16th century – the Ruthven Lodging, dovecot and gardens). The first recorded siege of Dirleton Castle was in 1298, during the Wars of Independence with England. The last occurred in 1650, following Oliver Cromwell’s invasion. However, Dirleton was primarily a residence of lordship, not a garrison stronghold, and the complex of buildings that we see today conveys clearly how the first castle was adapted to suit the changing needs and fancies of their successors.

  • Preston Mill Teacher’S Information
    Preston Mill Teacher’s information Preston Mill is one of the oldest water-driven meal mills in Scotland. There has been a mill on this site for centuries. It was last in operation commercially as late as 1957. A century ago there were many mills operating along the River Tyne, serving the farmlands of East Lothian, but most have disappeared. The Preston Mill site comprises two pan-tiled buildings: the conical-roofed kiln for drying the corn and the mill containing the machinery for grinding the corn. The water system is still in place. A large iron water wheel (believed to have been produced by Alex Mathers & Son in 1910) powers the machinery. There is an exhibition on milling, with archive images and recordings, and some working models, within the outhouses. Phantassie Doocot is a 15-minute walk away along a well-marked track. It contains nesting places once used for 500 birds. The walk connects to a food theme – from mill to arable fields to the doocot. You can also opt to follow a footpath around the field and beside the river, for a longer walk. The school visit offers opportunities for cross-curricular work and engaging with the Curriculum for Excellence: • Guided tour of the mill - see the mill working and have the processes explained • Tours can be adapted to suit the requirements of your class. • Ranger led walks are available and can also be adapted to your needs – popular study areas: minibeasts; trees; plants. Please contact the Ranger Office. • Classes can be split in 2 for a themed visit: one group visits the Mill while the other group has a ranger- led walk to the Doocot; they then swap round.
