Craigmillar Castle is a total hidden gem. It’s way more "main character energy" than the touristy spots and it's only a short bus ride from the city centre.

Craigmillar Castle, located approximately three miles southeast of Edinburgh’s city centre, is a remarkably well-preserved medieval fortress with a rich history. Originally constructed in the late 14th century by the Preston family, the castle began as a simple tower house. Over the subsequent centuries, it was expanded into a complex structure featuring additional buildings and defensive walls.   The castle is notably associated with Mary, Queen of Scots, who sought refuge there in 1566 follo

Craigmillar Castle, located just south of Edinburgh, Scotland, was begun in the late 14th century by the Preston family, who held it for nearly 300 years. The original tower house, built around 1400, was expanded into a fine courtyard castle during the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1566, it famously sheltered Mary, Queen of Scots, following the birth of her son, the future James VI. The “Craigmillar Bond,” a plot to remove her husband, Lord Darnley, was likely formed there.

Mary, Queen of Scots sought rest here after the birth of her son — but in its halls, plots were woven that changed her destiny.

This afternoon we visited Craigmillar Castle. Outlander fans will recognise it as being used as Ardsmuir Prison in episode 3, All Debts Paid, of Outlander season 3. It is here that Jamie is imprisoned, with other highland Jacobites. We learn that one of the prisoners is Murtagh. However, although surviving Culloden, Jamie’s godfather is gravely unwell. The prison is under the control of Lord John Grey. Jamie develops an uneasy prisoner-jailer relationship with Grey, using it to aid his fellow pr

Think Edinburgh Castle is the only one in town? Think again. Just a short drive (or bus ride) from the city centre is Craigmillar Castle, a proper, storybook-style castle that feels like you've stepped back in time, without the crowds. It’s everything you want a castle to be: towering stone walls, winding staircases, maze-like rooms you can actually get lost in, and a dreamy courtyard with a giant wooden door that looks like it’s straight out of a medieval movie.
