This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. A large and sophisticated castle with a spectacular facade of faceted stonework in an Italian style added, following a visit to Italy, by the Earl of Bothwell between 1581 and 1591. Mary Queen of Scots attended a wedding here. This has a facade of faceted stonework in an Italian Renaissance style. The courtyard is fully accessible. Access to areas leading from there depends on the visitor's mobility as each room and cellar has up to three steps leading to it.

Visited with my wife and kids and we all had a great time. Firstly, the location is quite stunning. It feels really isolated from the modern world and, with the exception of a distant farmhouse, the surrounding countryside is completely unspoiled giving you real sense of connection with the past. The castle and its history is well presented and we all enjoyed exploring all the nooks and crannies. Great afternoon out!

We live in Penicuik and the estate is a wonderful palce to walk. The cafe produces great food with a touch of class. It is sufficient for lunch or just a drop in for coffee and cake. Excellent.
