[Situation] About 37 chains SE [South East] by S [South] of the east end of the village of Winchburgh
This is one of those square towers Common throughout Scotland, and known as Castles, almost always built on Commanding situations and more for strength than ornament Of this Castle only the walls remain, but these are at their full hieight, seemingly about 70 feet - from 11 feet thick at the base they decrease to 4 or 5 - at top, small windows and loop holes are pierced at regular distances. The only entrance is at the break in the north side where an almost perpendicular rock marks it the more difficult of attaining. Strong Walls seem to have surrounded it, remains of which are still to be seen. A stone with the initials of Lord George Seaton, and the date 1567 - is built into the East Wall near the top, no doubt the date of extensive repairs. Queen Mary received protection here after her escape from Loch Leven. The Castle continued in the possession of the Earl of Winton till the Rebellion of 1745 - when it passed into that of the Hopetoun family giving the title of Baron Niddry of Niddry. South of the Castle is the garden surrounded by a high wall. This and the adjoining pasture lands are leased by Mr John Hill from the Earl of Hoepetoun the proprietor. |
