Keep off banks ...

My extremely lovely best friend from school came to visit us for the weekend.

She lives in that London so we decided she needed a dose of fresh air and castles.

Her surname is is one of the words in the sign they're all posing next to at Tantallon, I'll leave it to you to figure out which :)

Oh how we tittered... Well, the grown ups... The girls were thoroughly nonplussed.

Before Tantallon, we checked out Hailes. Great destination if you want to spend half an hour terrified that your children will inadvertently chuck themselves to their doom ... Luckily only Pooh confirmed he couldn't fly...
