The partially ruined 14th century castle holds a great position in the Roslin Glen. The high bridge used to access the castle would have been strong defence and was rebuilt to update the fortification in 1544. In 1980 the ruins where partially restored and you can now stay in the holiday accommodation in part of the castle.
