What is recorded here

Dundas Castle is a 15th-century stone tower house near South Queensferry where the Dundas family lived from the Middle Ages until they sold it in 1875. William Burn rebuilt part of it in 1818 with huge windows overlooking parkland, creating a bright Tudor-Gothic mansion beside the older keep. The castle has also hosted weddings, political residence, and wartime work protecting the Forth Bridge, so its rooms have carried marriage, power, and danger across several centuries.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dundas Castle as No Class (event) (period Unassigned). 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.

Dundas Castle was built in the late 18th century by Sir James Dundas, 3rd Baronet, as a hunting lodge and family residence. It is remembered for its picturesque design and as an example of Scottish architectural heritage.
