Duddingston is a small village located on the south-eastern edge of Holyrood Park, about three miles from the centre of Edinburgh. It has been incorporated into the City, but retains a village atmosphere and a distinct identity. A church was established here in the 12th century by the monks of Kelso. The Sheep's Heid Inn in the village is one of the longest established in Scotland. Duddingston also has a picturesque loch with a bird sanctuary.
Craigmillar Castle stands on land bought by the Preston family in the late 14th century. The keep dates from the early 15th century, but much of the rest of the Castle was rebuilt after it was burned by the Earl of Hertford in 1544. Mary Queen of Scots was a regular visitor. Craigmillar Castle is now managed by Historic Environment Scotland. It is one of the key sites of historical interest in Edinburgh.
