We got a view of North Berwick, which stands on the extreme northern point of Haddington; and about three miles to the eastward of it we came off the far-famed Tantallon Castle, in days of yore the stronghold of the Douglases.  Of course, we got out _Marmion_, and read the description of this celebrated fortress, which by the extent of its ruins must have been of great size and strength.
