Granton Castle, otherwise known as Royston Castle, dates from the 15th century. It was originally owned by the Melville family of Fife. It was in ruins by the mid 18th century, and was completely dismantled in 1928.
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.
