This 15th Century Castle has been a landmark for Scottish life for over 600 years.
Originally built in 1430 by Nobleman Sir William de Borthwick, the castle has been graced by some of the most prominent figures in Scottish history, from Mary Queen of Scots, to Oliver Cromwell.
The 11 beautiful bedchambers, all with either double, twin, or four-poster beds and en-suite bathrooms, are scattered throughout the Castle, accessed by secret doorways or spiral staircases. Some rooms are named after historical figures who would have slept there in days gone by.
With traditional period features and opulent fabrics, each room displays its historic grandeur whilst maintaining a luxurious ambience.
There is also a small Cottage amongst the castle grounds, built in 1911, with one double room and one twin room, perfect for families or small groups of friends.
With three glorious recreational rooms, the Castle can accommodate events of up to 80 guests, making it the perfect location for families who want the luxury and experience of a castle and its team all to themselves, for couples seeking to create an unforgettable wedding for themselves and their guests, or for corporates seeking an inspirational space for meetings.
Located just thirty minutes from Edinburgh airport and 12 miles from the city centre, Borthwick Castle maintains an air of privacy and remoteness while being brilliantly close to amenities, making it the ideal Scottish getaway.

Our talented travel team can tailor make holidays in Scotland, creating bespoke experiences which ensure you make the most of your valuable time in this unique country.
Wild, rugged and romantic are the three words that spring to mind when we cast our thoughts to holidays in Scotland. With many a myth and legend sung from these undulating lands, there is a uniquely strident beauty to this area that changes dramatically from season to season.
During the winter months, the snow-covered Cairngorms National Park beckons winter enthusiasts to take advantage of uncrowded ski areas. Short daylight hours are more than made up for by sublime winter sunsets, which cast their warm hues over the breath-taking horizons and announce that it’s time to retreat inside. With the promise of a fireside 'dram' awaiting you at the end of the day in your very own Gothic castle, it's all a bit like something out of a Sir Walter Scott novel...
Come the emergence of spring, Scotland’s lochs - such as Loch Ness, Loch Lomond and Loch Laggan - lose their 'winter skin' and wildflowers return to the foothills of the mountains in an explosion of colour. With seemingly endless days, summer is the perfect time to explore Scotland. Skirted with miles of pristine coastline and studded with country estates, it hosts a plethora of landmarks, including six UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Alongside its stunning natural scenery, Scotland’s cities are not to be missed. The capital, Edinburgh, with its bustling medieval Old Town, is one of Europe's most vibrant and cultural cities. With the iconic Edinburgh Castle overlooking her historic city, Edinburgh hosts The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Edinburgh Festival Fringe in summer, along with the ever-popular Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve) and Burns Night in January. With some of the world’s leading chefs choosing Edinburgh as their home, there is a culinary Enlightenment taking place in Scotland, but we're thrilled to see the classics still remain... a holiday in Scotland would not be complete without a dish of haggis, neeps & tatties, all washed down with whisky!
