By Dr Jan Bondeson SALTCOATS Castle is one of East Lothian’s ‘forgotten’ castles, situated in farmland half a mile south of Gullane. It has been uninhabited for more than 200 years and is today badly ruined and overgrown with noxious vegetation, with nettles and brambles abounding on the site. It was constructed in 1590 or thereabouts by Patrick Livingstone of Saltcoats. An armorial panel relocated from the castle to a nearby cottage has the arms of the Livingstone family and the initials of the builder and his wife Margaret Fettis of Fawside. The castle has some interesting and unusual architectural features, with a courtyard enclosure and two tall towers to the west, with a vaulted arch between them.
