Dirleton Castle is on the East Coast overlooking the Firth of Forth, not to far from Edinburgh on the B1345.  The Castle is 3 miles sandwiched between Gullane and North Berwick.  As you arrive through Dirleton you cant help but think of a quite, quaint village with nothing much else to do but sit down and relax.    The Castle walls are evenly spread out in the middle of the village where it looks as if both the village and castle were meant to be together.  Entry to the Dirleton Castle grounds is through the small information office, run by Historic Scotland, where payment entry is made.  You will then venture through a lovely triangular garden which will then lead up to the castle.

Dirleton Castle gardens are quite surreal as in they look almost new.  You would never guess that that the garden has been in existence in the castle since the castles earliest days, (more details can be found from Historic Scotland).  There is a lovely natural tone to this garden as you walk on the path beside the rectangular first garden.  It is well looked after and the Garden is in the Guinness Book of World Records stating that Dirleton Castle Garden has the world's longest herbaceous border.
