Old Photograph Whittingehame Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Whittingehame Castle located two miles South of East Linton, East Lothian, Scotland. This Scottish castle was built on lands belonging to the Cospatrick Earls of March. In the 14th century the lands were acquired by the Douglases. During the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, they were held by James Douglas, 4th Earl of Morton. The property subsequently passed through the hands of the Setons, Hays and Balfours of Balbirnie, who occupy the castle still. Arthur James Balfour, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1902 to 1905, belonged to this family.
