Historic Houses in Scotland
Abbotsford House - Traquair House
Many Scottish historic houses are named 'castles'. The term castle may refer to a defensive structure that was adapted for domestic purposes by later generations. The historic houses in this section are a mixture of those that started as castles and those built only for domestic purposes. They are, on the whole, occupied today or habitable. If you can't find a favourite place here, try looking under Ruined Castles, Towerhouses and Palaces.
