Dirleton Castle

Castles

North Berwick

East Lothian

From £2.30 per ticket

A romantic castle often in the forefront of Scottish history since it was built in the 12th century.

Due to access restrictions in place as a precautionary measure while we undertake high level masonry inspections, there is currently no visitor access to the castle or doocot. Find out more about our conservation work

The gardens, exhibition and shop are open. The castle remains closed.

While the castle is closed there is no admission charge, but booking in advance is recommended to guarantee entry.

The renowned gardens include an Arts and Crafts herbaceous border and Victorian garden. The herbaceous border has been authenticated by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's longest.

The two gardens and grounds are accessible to those using wheelchairs. Two steps lead to the inner courtyard. The castle interior is restricted for visitors using wheelchairs as are the gazebo and dovecote. Surfaces on all garden paths and those leading to the grounds are suitable for wheelchairs. The main garden has a selection of scented flowers and plants.

Visitors with disabilities can be set down by the main road which runs within 10 metres of the main gate.

Very occasionally the property has to close at short notice due to adverse weather conditions or other reasons out with our control. Please check the Historic Scotland closures page for any unexpected site closures https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/check-for-closures/. You can also follow closure tweets from @welovehistory using #hsclosure. Alternatively please call the site before setting off to check they are open.
