Loved it! One of the few that weren't altered, you can just see and appreciate where it sits at now. Endless maze of stairs that can keep you busy for about an hour if not too crowded!

Craigmillar Castle is one of Edinburgh's little hidden gems. Without sections converted into gift shops and cafes, Craigmillar has a more authentic feel as a preserved piece of history.

Amazing Castle in the countryside. Great landscape on the sea side, a pity for the opposite side which has an industrial estate. Tickets are around 5£ but it definitely deserves a visit.

What a beautiful, quiet, non-crowded castle (much better than Edinburgh Castle, in my opinion). Truly explore and discover all the nooks.

Maybe the best castle near Edinburgh. Far less crowded, mostly intact.

In 1566, Mary Queen of Scots convalesced at Craigmillar after suffering an abdominal haemorrhage at Jedburgh. She now wanted to divorce Lord Darnley, but her nobles signed a bond to murder him.

Lieu de résidence Marie Stuart l’endroit est aussi connu sous le nom de Little France, car il abritait la cour française de la reine Marie d’Écosse. Des ruines superbes plein de coins et recoins

Very nice castle near Edinburgh! Krásný, členitý hrad na předměstí Edinburghu. Vypadá nenápadně, ale stojí za návštěvu!
