Craigmillar Castle

Highlights

• The tower house – one of the oldest in Scotland, and with fascinating features, including a fine great hall and the so-called ‘Queen Mary’s Room’.
• The views from the tower – over the city of Edinburgh, including Holyrood Park and Edinburgh Castle.
• The nooks and crannies – a great castle to explore because of the many dark and mysterious chambers.
• The grounds – including the remains of an unusual fishpond laid out in the shape of a letter P, for Preston.
