Barnbougle Castle is situated on the Firth of Forth, roughly 2 miles east of South Queensferry. It is a 13th century tower house, built by and still in the ownership of the Rosebery family.

This photograph is from a volume entitled 'Photographs of houses in the vicinity of Lauriston Castle' which was compiled in 1909. The book has the armorial bookplate of Macknight Crawfurd of Cartsburn, Lauriston Castle, on the inside cover.
