Tantallon, a community in Fort Washington draws its name from a Scottish castle. Famed golf course architect Jim Thompson created the Tantallon Golf & Country Club, which serves as the focal point of the area. Today, it is called the National Golf Club at Tantallon; it is the only Ted Robinson-designed course on the East coast.
