Hawthornden Castle

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hawthornden Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Hawthornden Castle was built in the 16th century by the Erskine family, a prominent Scottish noble family. It is remembered as the ancestral seat of the Earls of Buchan and for its historical association with Scottish literature, notably as the home of the poet Sir Walter Scott's friend, Lady Grizel Baillie.
