Tour Scotland Travel Video Of Craigmillar Castle Edinburgh

Tour Scotland travel video of Craigmillar Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland. A ruined medieval Scottish castle in Edinburgh. It was begun in the late 14th century by the Preston family, feudal barons of Craigmillar, and extended through the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1660 the castle was sold to Sir John Gilmour, Lord President of the Court of Session, who made further alterations. The Gilmours left Craigmillar in the 18th century, and the castle fell into ruin. Craigmillar Castle is best known for its association with Mary, Queen of Scots. Following an illness after the birth of her son, the future James I of England, Mary arrived at Craigmillar on 20 November 1566 to convalesce. Before she left on 7 December 1566, a pact known as the " Craigmillar Bond " was made, with or without her knowledge, to dispose of her husband Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley. Craigmillar is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Scotland. The central tower house, or keep, is surrounded by a 15th century courtyard wall with particularly fine defensive features.
