OS1/11/69/9 DALKEITH HOUSE on the Site of DALKEITH CASTLE [continued from page 8] "During the 12th & 13th Centuries it" (DalKeith) "was possessed by the Gallant Grahams. As early as the reign of David II. there was at Dalkeith a baronial Castle which was held by the turbulent Douglases. DalKeith Castle had the honour to receive the princess Margaret on her way to her espousals at Edinburgh. After the battle of PinKie it was readily surrendered by the order of George Douglas, the proprietor. Here Mary Stewart visited Morton her unworthy Chancellor; and conferred several favours on him. In the subsequent Century this barony was acquired by the Scotts a milder race. On the ancient site, Anne the Duchess of Buccleugh and Monmouth built the present house in imitation of the palace of Loo, but on a smaller scale." Chalmers' Caledonia vol [volume] II, P. [Page] 572-3 "DalKeith Castle House, &c. - The only thing under the article of antiquities, worthy of being mentioned is the castle of DalKeith which formerly occupied the same spot where now stands DalKeith House, the principal seat of his Grace the DuKe of Buccleugh. About the beginning of the present century a very magnificent house was built on the site of the Old Castle by Ann Duchess of Buccleugh and Monmouth. The fosse which guarded the castle on the east was filled up and a large mound of forced earth raised around the rock. It is now a pleasant bank and adorned with a variety of delightful shrubs. The beauty of the situation which is deservedly admired is greatly heightened by the winding of the river, and the abundance of thriving wood with which it is surrounded", &c. "In ancient times, it appears to have been a place of considerable strength and to have stood some siege [continued on page 10]

OS1/11/69/10 DALKEITH HOUSE on the Site of DALKEITH CASTLE [continued from page 9] "was situated on a perpendicular rock of great height and inaccessible on all sides except on the east where it was defended by a fosse through which the river is said to have formerly run. It was for some centuries, the principal residence of the noble family of Morton; and history records, James IX, and last Earl of Douglas, exasperated against John Douglas, Lord of Dalkeith, for espousing the cause of James II, who had basely murdered William VIII, Earl of the illustrous house of Douglas at Stirling laid siege to the Castle of DalKeith binding himself by a Solemn oath not to desist till he had made himself master of it. It was however so gallantly defended by Patrick Cockburn and ClerKington, that the Earl of Douglas and his followers after undergoing much toil and receiving many wounds found themselves unable to reduce it and were obliged to raise the siege. On the defeat of the Scotch army at PinKie Anno Dom, 1547 many fled to the Castle of Dalkeith for refuge, among whom was James Earl of Morton afterwards regent of Scotland and Sir David Hume of Wedderburn. It was besieged by the English and defended for some time; but as it contained not a sufficient store of provision for such a number of men as had fled to it and as the besieged had no hopes of succour against the victorious army it was obliged to surrender; in consequence of which; the Earl & Sir David were made prisoner. In the year 1642, the estate of DalKeith came into the possession of the family of Buccleugh by purchase from the Earl of Morton." Sinclairs Stat. [Statistical] Acct [Account] vol. [volume] 120
