| Front Elevation, Faside Estate |
Faside Castle is strategically placed near the top of a steep hill, 474 feet above sea level. The castle is approximately eight miles east of Edinburgh, and two miles south east of Musselburgh. From the top of the tower it is possible to see as far as Dunbar, with panoramic views over the Firth of Forth with the hills of Fife behind. To the south are unspoilt views over the Lammermuir, Moorfoot and Pentland Hills and, at closer range the castle overlooks Edinburgh, Dalkeith, Musselburgh and Prestonpans.
