We stopped at Dirleton Castle and Gardens for a picnic lunch en route to Edinburgh from Northumberland. Surprisingly splendid ruins and a pretty garden, well worth a minor diversion off the A1. Entry charge was so ridiculously cheap (£3.60) that we felt obliged to make a voluntary donation on top.

Recently bought the Historic Scotland membership card and my nephews decided they wanted to visit Dirleton Castle on the bank holiday so that what we done. The ladies in the shop were very friendly and informative which was nice. The grounds and garden are very well kept. Some bits of the Castle were closed off due to needing some restoration but we pretty much had the place to ourselves so the boys loved getting to explore - especially down in the prisoner area. We took lots of photo's and maybe even captured a couple of 'permanent residents' under the stairs...

Castle was closed for repairs, but still able to walk around the grounds and view the castle from the outside. Beautiful gardens upon entrance to walk around and a formal Victorian garden as well.

A lovley castle and beautiful gardens . A unique castle which still stands after it was abandoned in the 1600s . Plenty to see and explore

Other than a lot of maintenance work taking place this is an amazing place and the gardens are a lovely piece of tranquility to relax in:)

About half the castle if closed for works but this is reflected in the entry price (half price) still plenty to have a wander round and explore and lovely gardens to. We still spent a good hour here and the guy on the entrance couldn't have been nicer.Entry to the actual Castle is by alot of steps atm as South entrance is closed.

Beautiful well kept gardens. Good amount of the castle open to explore even with parts closed off. Reception staff were friendly. They do close for between 12.30-1.30 for lunch but someone came and opened the gate for us to leave during that time

Castle with a beautiful garden. Many areas in the castle are closed for repairing, so I cannot get to all rooms in the castle. Can explore the castle inside, but the garden and grassland are better. Very suitable for walking and enjoying the sunshine and flowers.
