Hailes Castle

Hailes Castle is situated about 2mi/3km southwest of East Linton. It was built in the 13th century but destroyed by Cromwell in 1650. The narrow dungeons below both towers are particularly interesting.

Hailes Castle - Traprain Law

To the rear of Hailes Castle rises Traprain Law (724ft/221m) where a hoard of fourth century Roman silver coins was found in 1919. They are now kept in Edinburgh's Museum of Antiquities.
