BORTHWICK CASTLE (2004 visit)
This is a WONDOERFUL Castle and our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip.
If you go to Scotland YOU MUST stay over at a castle one night and this is the castle to choose.
Borthwick caslte is located very near Edinburgh.
There are LOTS of castles to see in Scotland and some you can even stay at.
However, Borthwick Castle is KNOWN for it's FANTASTIC hospitality and unique history.
When staying at the castle you are offered a tour.
It is also documented that Mary Queen of Scots had stayed
at this same castle and later escaped from it. I promise if you stay at Borthwick Castle it will be a wonderful and lasting experience for you.

Dennis just inside our room. Notice how small the door is. That is so the enemy would have difficulty stooping down to go into a room with armor on.

The room we stayed in Mary Queen of Scots also stayed in during the 15th century. Hanging on one wall in our room was a painting of her.
