One of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland, Craigmillar Castle was begun in the late 14th century but not completed until the 16th. The central tower is the oldest section, dating from 1425; the rest of the grounds include a doocot, two gardens, and inner and outer courtyard and a church.
A well-preserved medieval castle, Craigmillar has a tower house, courtyard and gardens. Craigmillar’s story is linked with that of Mary Queen of Scots. There are superb views from the tower house.
