Discover the ruins of Craigmillar Castle: between Mary Stuart and Ghosts during a private guided tour
1h30-2h
Only 10 minutes away by taxi from Edinburgh’s city centre lies the stunning ruins of Craigmillar Castle. Tucked away within the hills and offering a gorgeous view of Arthur’s Seat, this fortress welcomed the Preston family in the 14th century. From witches to queens, join us as we uncover the secrets and legends of this off the beaten path fortress!
Tour Highlights:
-
Queen Mary Stuart’s Bedroom: From within the castle’s wall, the infamous Scottish Queen plotted the death of her second husband, Lord Darnley...
-
The Dungeon: Used to punish enemies of the Preston family, an entire skeleton was discovered hidden within these walls.
-
The Great Hall: A beautiful stone wall filled with tales of feasts, and one or two poisonings, of course.
-
The Tower House: One of Scotland’s oldest towers and from its openings you may just see the local castle’s ghost.
