Dalhousie Castle (1)
I almost didn't call in here, indeed, I have been past before without so much as removing my lense cover, but it is actually much more interesting than I initially realised! The argument for skipping it is that it has been so massively altered, that little of the original castle remains visible from the outside, but the way the building has developed from its medieval tower-house origins into what we see today is unique in my experience.
"Dal-how-zee" Castle is a (or if you prefer 'an') hotel and has been for more than 50 years. It lies 8 miles south-east of the centre of Edinburgh, on the west bank of the South Esk between Bonnyrig and Gorebridge. Up until the turn of the 20th century, it was the seat of the Ramsays.
