Craigmillar Castle is an imposing and grand structure with an unusual history. It is situated on the A68 road and is accessible by car from the roads around Arthur's Seat. The Prestons developed the site in the 14th Century and it was converted into a comfortable residence in 1660 by the Gilmours. Soak up the atmosphere as you walk around the impressive ruins of the massive keep and the cobbled inner courtyard. Inside, the stately range of apartments from the 16th and 17th Centuries have intrigues to reveal. Apparently the death of Mary Queen of Scots' husband Lord Darnley was plotted here by conspirators. Hours vary seasonally, call ahead or check website to know more.
