Dirleton Castle, located in East Lothian, Scotland, has a storied history dating back to the 12th century. Originally constructed by the de Vaux family, it played a strategic role in Scotland's conflicts with England. In the 13th century, it passed into the hands of the Haliburton family, who expanded and improved the castle.
Dirleton Castle was known for its formidable defenses, including a deep pit prison. During the Wars of Independence, it changed hands between the Scots and English several times. It eventually fell into disrepair, and by the 17th century, it was abandoned as a residence.
Today, the castle stands as a well-preserved ruin, offering visitors a glimpse into medieval Scottish history and architecture.
