" The Castle of Dirleton cannot be traced so distinctly to so early an origin. Like other feudal
houses it was erected on a rock in the parish of Gulan. It had the honour to stop the progress
of the ireful Edward I. in 1298. when it was the baronial residence of the family of vaux. After many
vicissitudes in war and in peace it was demolished by Cromwell, in 1650." -- Chalmers Caledonia vol [volume] 2 page 407
