Borthwick Castle
Located just a few miles south of Kirkhill Mansion, Borthwick Castle is steeped in history, being one of the largest and best preserved medieval Scottish forts, constructed in 1430 for Sir William Borthwick.
Borthwick Castle was visited twice by Mary Queen of Scots in 1563 and 1567, when she was besieged inside while under the protection of 6th Lord Borthwick, escaping the siege by disguising herself as a page. It also still shows visible signs of the siege in 1650 when the castle was attacked by Oliver Cromwell's forces.
