Craigmillar Castle

Craigmillar Castle Road
0131 661 4445

This impressive ruins was first built in 1374. Many additions to the structure followed over the next 200 years. Like many of Edinburgh's monuments, much damage was caused when Hertford took the castle in 1544, during the "rough wooing". Mary Queen of Scots used Craigmillar so often that her French attendants gave a nearby hamlet the name it bears to this day: Little France. There are plenty of rooms, stairs and basements here to make an afternoons exploring highly enjoyable.
