Why just visit a castle when you can stay in one? Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians are home to some of Scotland's most captivating castle hotels — from ancient fortresses steeped in royal history to grand Baronial mansions set in sweeping estate grounds. Many are within easy reach of the city centre, making them the perfect base for exploring Edinburgh's world-famous Old Town, Royal Mile, and Arthur's Seat by day, before retreating to your own castle at night.
