History of Tantallon Point

Named in 1884 by W. H. Dall, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS); published in 1883 Coast Pilot (p. 171). DeArmond (1957, p. 42-43) believed that Dall, as a student of Sir Walter Scott's writings, took the name from Tantallon Castle, North Berwick, Scotland, one of the castles of the Douglas Clan.
