Dalhousie Castle

A fascinating 13th century fortress set within acres of wooded parkland on the picturesque banks of the river Esk. The countryside of Midlothian and the Scottish Borders is some of the loveliest to be found anywhere in the world. However, for over five hundred years it was also some of the most fiercely contested. Dalhousie Castle, standing just a few miles south of Edinburgh, occupied a position of great strategic importance, and so was witness to more than its fair share of history.

From the moment you arrive at Dalhousie Castle, a warm Scottish welcome awaits. Whether relaxing in the Spa, enjoying one of the library’s extensive collection of books and a drink from the ‘secret bar’ next to the open fire, dining in the ancient barrel vaulted dungeon on our exceptional cuisine or relaxing in your unique castle bedroom, you will always feel as welcome.

Dalhousie Castle has very much kept its Scottish Castle character yet is also so near to Edinburgh city centre, Edinburgh airport and Waverley train station. Is there a more memorable way of visiting Scotland than by staying in a Scottish Castle?
