The region is a paradise for history buffs and it was first settled back in prehistoric times and many relics and artefacts from this era have been found in the county. Dirleton Castle, found in the medieval village of Dirleton, is a fantastic example of a 13th century stronghold and is surrounded by majestic gardens which are a pleasure all year round but especially in the warmer, summer months.
