Edinburgh and Scottish Collection

Situated in the campus of Edinburgh Napier University, all that remains of the Castle (Tower) is a ruin of a 4 floored tower with walls 5 foot thick. It is unknown who built it but the first land owners were the Lockhart’s of Lea in the 12th century.

However it is thought that the Kincaid family lived there during the reign of James the VI in the late 1500s.
