Bed and Breakfast at Traquair House
This romantic and grand old house with its profound air of Scottish History is one of the most famous castles in Scotland, and the oldest one to be continually lived in.
Originally owned by the kings of Scotland from at least 1107, it later became the home of the Stuart Earls of Traquair and is still lived in by their descendants.
