What is recorded here

Dundas Castle is a 15th-century stone keep near South Queensferry that James Dundas built in 1416 to serve as both a home and a fortress. The Dundas family lived there for centuries, hosting infant daughters with silver gifts and even sheltering Oliver Cromwell during the upheaval of 1650. William Burn later rebuilt the mansion in a Tudor-Gothic style with huge windows overlooking the lawns, but the expense forced the family to sell in 1875. The castle has since changed hands again, becoming a residence for Stewart-Clark and later a wartime headquarters for protecting the Forth Bridge.
