 Only 12 miles from Edinburgh in a pastoral valley, this romantic
Castle stands on the summit of a knoll on the periphery of the romantic Borders
immortalised by Sir Walter Scott. Dine by candlelight and log fire in Scotland's most
beautiful Great Hall with its magnificent 40 foot Gothic arch, Minstrel's Gallery and
hooded fireplace. Delight in Scots cuisine at its very best with fresh salmon, Aberdeen
Angus beef, Scotch lamb and game when in season. Relax in the elegantly proportioned State
Room with its beautifully arched windows, tapestries and the small chapel once used by
Mary Queen of Scots on her many visits to the Castle. All the bedchambers, tastefully
furnished in period style, have showers and toilets en suite; the bedchambers once
occupied by the tragic Queen and the ill-fated Bothwell have four poster beds and are
available to guests. Wander the spacious grounds, down through the Borthwick Glen, itself
a treasure house of flora and fauna. Contemplate the soft gurgling of the trout stream
which girds the Castle. Borthwick Castle has won world-wide acclaim for gracious
hospitality and personal attention to all those guests who have entered this Stately Home.
