Fast Castle

BERWICKSHIRE

(The Royal Squadron conveying his Majesty King George IV towards Edinburgh)

 

Fast Castle is the ruined remains of a coastal fortress in Berwickshire, South-east Scotland, in the Scottish Borders. It lies 4 miles north west of the village of Coldingham, and just outside the St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve. The castle is thought to feature in Sir Walter Scott's The Bride of Lammermoor, part of the Tales of My Landlord, 1819. It is referred to as "Wolf's Crag", and also appears in Donizetti's operatic adaptation, Lucia di Lammermoor.
