Picture post: More from East Lothian in May

While I was in North Berwick, some people I am in chaoots with came down for a visit and a picnic. We stopped off at the butcher for Serious Sausage Rolls (they're HUGE and taste good and are very filling. Just what's needed when going exploring), and then went to explore Dirleton Castle, stopping off at the very pleasingly round doocot first:

We then walked round to the castle entrance, which is still very imposing:

The castle was attacked by cannon; the damage wasn't ever repaired:

The entrance reminded us all of the castle in Knightmare:

We had a good poke about round the castle. This is the passage to my favourite room:
To the Hexagonal Room
(The doors are as small as they look - people were shorter then.)
