Scotland travel: Bass Rock is an island rock visible from Tantallon Castle. In it's time, it was a prison which made Alcatraz look tame in comparison. It appears white because of birds and their droppings. Tantallon Castle is about an hour drive from where we stayed at Dalhousie Castle, and about three hours from Culzean Castle.
