The stunning views across the Forth towards Edinburgh are enough to inspire anyone, let alone one of Scotland's finest modern artists, Jack Vettriano, as this was his former home and studio - or just enjoy this fabulous castle for what it is.
This Grade A listed castle, is a unique tower house, in a dramatic setting overlooking the Firth of Forth and Edinburgh beyond. Built in the twentieth century, it has a sixteenth century feel because of its design and its use of reclaimed historic timber and stone.
Within the castle, at ground level are the dining room, snug and kitchen, whilst on the first floor is the drawing room and cinema room. There are five bedrooms, all in keeping with the castle, with two four poster double bedrooms, one double bedroom and two twin/double rooms on the first, second and third floors. The sixth bedroom is in the annexe next door, which used to be Jack Vettriano's studio, where a double room, bathroom, living space and kitchen can be found on two floors.
Half an hour from Edinburgh airport, this historic castle is ideal for corporate use, golfers and family holidays.
