Dirleton Castle, located in East Lothian, Scotland, is a 13th-century fortress and one of Scotland's oldest surviving strongholds. Originally built by the de Vaux family, it passed to the Haliburtons and Ruthvens, serving as a noble residence for 400 years. Heavily damaged by Oliver Cromwell in 1650, the ruins were later incorporated into a designed landscape by the Nisbet family, featuring award-winning gardens. #scotland #castle #imagine #history #discover

Robert V. on Instagram: "Dirleton Castle is approximately 800 years old, with its initial construction beginning in the early 1200s. The castle was built by the de Vaux family, though the exact date is debated, with some sources citing construction around 1225.

The Ruthvens were involved in several plots against Mary, Queen of Scots, and King James VI, and eventually forfeited the castle in 1600. Dirleton ceased to be a residence, although Oliver Cromwell was forced to besiege the castle to f
