Craigmillar Castle

This is Craigmillar Castle on the outskirts of Edinburgh. It was built in the late 1300’s and has a great historical past spanning hundreds of years including Mary Queen of Scots who stayed here in 1566 and where the plot to murder her husband Lord Darnley was hatched.

It has also been used as a film location on The Outlaw King starring Chris Pine which is about Robert the Bruce but fans of the Show Outlander will recognise it as the setting of Ardsmuir prison where Jamie is sent after the battle of Culloden and forms his friendship with Lord John Grey.
