  • Craigmillar Castle | Outlander | All About Edinburgh

    Craigmillar Castle now ruins where Films TV Shows have been made. Best preserved medieval Castle in UK. Many historic momemts in History happened here. Craigmillar Castle Edinburgh Prestonfield #OUTLANDER FILM LOCATION Craigmillar Castle is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Scotland. It has a central tower house which is surrounded by a courtyard wall and has a chapel and a do’cot. Craigmillar Castle was built in the late 14th century by the Preston family, Land owners of Craigmillar. Craigmillar Castle is best known for its association with Mary Queen of Scots. She used the castle as a place to rest after illness and after the birth of her son the future James I of England. Mary arrived at Craigmillar Castle on the 20th November 1566 and left on 7 December 1566. In November Bothwell met with nobles at Craigmillar Castle to discuss Lord Darnley. They came up with two options, divorce or assassination. They then consulted with Mary, she ruled out divorce, because it would make her son illegitimate. As for 'other means', she said that she wanted 'nothing against her honour'. The nobles saw this as her agreement to kill her husband and on leaving the nobles signed an agreement to murder Darnley. A pact known as the "Craigmillar Bond" was made, to be rid of her husband Lord Darnley. The garden pond shaped as the initial "P" can still be seen. It was Simon Prestons’ town House in Edinburgh that Mary Queen of Scots spent her last night before she was taken to Leven then on to England to spend the next 19 years in imprisonment before her execution. It was Elizabeth I the cousin of Mary Queen of Scots that had her executed. Prestonfield Edinburgh The area of Craigmillar in the east was purchased and added to the Barony of Priestfield owned by Sir James Dick. The first house was named Priestfield, as the monks had previously been the landowners. Priestfield House was burned to the ground in 1680 by anti-Catholic student protesters (the Dick's being Catholic) and as a consequence the Edinburgh council closed the University of Edinburgh until they could see improvement in the student’s behaviour. The reason for the targeting of Priestfield and Sir James Dick was he held the position of Provost of the University of Edinburgh. The Dick family lived in Prestonfield House for over 250 years. A new house was built by Sir William Bruce, king’s architect. At that time the house was renamed Prestonfield House. In the years to follow Prestonfield house greeted many famous guests that included Bonnie Prince Charlie, Samuel Jonson and James Boswell. Benjamín Franklin was entertained by the president of the Royal College of Physicians, Sir Alexander Dick, at his home, Prestonfield in 1759. The House still stands with many renovations and modernisation over the centuries it still stands, now a hotel and has been a popular venue for the celebrities for the last 50 years with guest such as Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, Sean Connery, Elton John, Catherine Zeta Jones, Oliver Reed and many more.

Old Church of St Andrew Gullane Village East Lothian Coast In 1127 the Bishop of St. Andrews claimed jurisdiction over all the churches in the Lothians. Plaque inscription reads: Old church of St Andrew | Close by this site in ancient times our ancestors erected a Christian Cross as witness to their faith. A Church dedicated to St Andrew was established, probably as early as the 9th century, and three centuries later the simple Norman church was began. The Scots Parliament decreed a transfer to Dirleton in 1612, partly because the old church was being “continually over blown with sand” and partly because its location had become inconvenient as most of the parishioners at that time lived in Dirleton. Growth of Gullane as a holiday and golfing resort during the 19th century led to the building of St Peter’s Church, now disused, Gullane Parish Church and St Adrian’s Scottish Episcopal Church. This plaque commemorates the abiding witness of those early Christians as we start the third millennium. Erected by Gullane Parish Church | 2000 A.D.

Not much to see now but remains of walls can still be seen after 200 years The Thirteen Rules of Golf 1 “You must tee your ball within a club’s length of the hole” 2 “Your tee must be on the ground.”) 3 “You are not to change the ball which you strike off the tee.” 4 “You are not to remove stones, bones or any break club for the sake of playing your ball, except upon the fair green, and that only within a club’s length of the ball.” 5 “If your ball comes among water, or any watery filth, you are at liberty to take out your ball and bringing it behind the hazard and teeing it, you may play it with any club and allow your adversary a stroke for so getting out your ball.” 6 “If your balls be found anywhere touching one another you are to lift the first ball till you play the last.” 7 “At holing you are to play your ball honestly at the hole, and not to play upon your adversary’s ball, not lying in your way to the hole.” 8 “If you should lose your ball, by its being taken up, or any other way, you are to go back to the spot where you struck last and drop another ball and allow your adversary a stroke for the misfortune.” 9 “No man at holing his ball is to be allowed to mark his way to the hole with his club or anything else.” 10 “If a ball be stopped by any person, horse, dog, or anything else, the ball so stopped must be played where it lies.” 11 “If you draw your club in order to strike and proceed so far in the stroke as to be bringing down your club, if then your club should break in any way, it is to be accounted a stroke.” 12 “He whose ball lies farthest from the hole is obliged to play first.” 13 “Neither trench, ditch, or dyke made for the preservation of the links, nor the Scholars’ Holes or the soldiers’ lines shall be accounted a hazard but the ball is to be taken out, teed and played with any iron club.” (The first written rules also include the first local rule, for what we would now describe as ground under repair.)
