Evening light on the ruins of Fast Castle on the Berwickshire coast in the Scottish Borders

---

Fast Castle (Castle Knowe) in the Scottish Borders. The ruins of this castle are located on an isolated promontory on cliffs located between Berwick and Dunbar and about 3 miles from St Abb's Head. The ruins are now connnected to the mainland by a narrow concrete bridge where once there would have been a drawbridge. The castle was originally destroyed during the 16th century. The location was used by Sir Walter Scott as a model for his description of "The Wolf's Crag" in his novel "The Bride of Lammermoor"
