More about this scene

Tantallon was the stronghold of the Douglases, wardens of the Border Marches, lords of Galloway, and by the end of the 15th century masters of much of Lothian, Stirlingshire and Clydesdale. James V resented the Douglases, and besieged Tantallon in 1528. Red Douglas held out for three months before being forced into exile. Beyond the castle is the Bass Rock.
