Description:
The highest tower house in Scotland dating back to 1430. In 1567 Mary, Queen of Scots with her new husband Bothwell, were besieged here. Marks from Cromwell's 1650 bombardment are still visible high on the east wall. Today, it stands as one of Scotland’s most impressive and luxurious venues for corporate events and weddings.
