Visiting Thirlestane Castle and woodland in the Scottish Borders.
One of the oldest and finest inhabited castles in Scotland
Thirlestane Castle nestles in the hills of the beautiful Scottish Borders just 35 minutes south of Edinburgh in the charming town of Lauder.
The castle was originally a great stone keep but over the years became a grand ducal palace and then a grand country mansion. It is the ancient seat of the Earls and Duke of Lauderdale, and today it continues to be the Maitland family home.
There are so many fascinating things to see in this splendid building. Exquisite 17th century Dunsterfield plasterwork ceilings fine furnishings, pictures and Maitland family treasures.
Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at the castle in 1745
A series of special events happen at Thirlestane Castle throughout the season including the 'BVAC Classic - Festival of Motoring'

Old Photographs Lauder Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Lauder a town in the historic county of Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders. The town developed in a pattern which was typical of a Scottish Burgh. The Tolbooth, later known as the Town House overlooked the Market Place. Lauder is situated beside what was in Roman times a main route north from England, Dere Street. The route came from Trimontium, modern Newstead, near Melrose, following the valleys to pass over the Lammermuirs at their west end at Soutra, In the 12th Lauder was the site of a major castle built by the de Morville family. Later, the site was used as a fort by the English. Later, still, the same site became the site of Thirlestane Castle Before 1500 the town had been created a Burgh by Royal Charter, the rights being renewed by James IV in 1502, Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
