Craigmillar Castle History & Tour / Medieval Castle in Edinburgh Where Murder Plots Were Planned
Discover the history and explore Craigmillar Castle with us. Located just a few miles outside of Edinburgh city centre, although with its peaceful atmosphere it feels much further afield. From holy relics being discovered to murder plots being hatched, it has a long history and for a ruinous castle it is incredibly very intact.

Loved it. My daughter and I walked what seemed like miles to get to it from Edinburgh and then back again! It was a lovely day so we really enjoyed it.

@castlesandlegends Год назад

Thank you. It is a good few miles from the city centre so must have been a good walk indeed! We loved it, for a ruinous castle there is so much left to explore!

@tygrahof9268 11 месяцев назад

Wonderful. So hate to see castles just left but I know nothing of them.

@castlesandlegends 11 месяцев назад

For so long so many historic castles were left abandoned and uncared for. At least Craigmillar is now being looked after 🙂

@castlesandlegends 5 месяцев назад

Yeh I'm feeling a little guilty now, there is so much history here, if I didn't have to work a day job I would take to the road and spend everyday exploring!

Thanks, really enjoyed visiting Craigmillar, perfect end to our weekend in Edinburgh :)

@racheltaylor6578 27 дней назад

I used to live next to this castle and passed it every day.Its a bit of a rough area of Edinburgh or at least used to be.

@castlesandlegends 17 дней назад

I don't know much about the area as we were just visiting but the castle is wonderful, must have been great to glimpse it daily!

@christianfreedom-seeker934 Год назад

Very sturdy! I wonder why it was ultimately abandoned?

@castlesandlegends Год назад

Good question! I have not come across a decisive answer on why the Gilmour family left Craigmillar Castle. The family relocated to Inch House in Gilmerton in the Edinburgh suburbs. Perhaps it was the cost of upkeeping the castle or the accommodation was just more suitable are my guesses.
