    Craigmillar Castle

    About

    Admire city views from the high ramparts of Edinburgh's "other castle", play hide - and - seek in its labyrinth of chambers or picnic in its courtyards. Craigmillar Castle was a prison for the younger brother of James III, a happy retreat for Mary Queen of Scots and the focus of a plot to murder her husband Lord Darnley. Its profile is dominated by its remarkably complete inner curtain wall. This site is open for you to enjoy but there are currently some access restrictions in place as a precautionary measure. 1 Apr to 30 Sept: Daily, 9.30am to last entry at 4.30pm (closes 5pm) 1 Oct to 31 Oct: Daily, 10am to last entry 3.30pm (closes 4pm) 1 Nov to 31 Jan: Daily, 10am to last entry 3.15pm (closes 4pm) 1 Feb to 31 Mar: Daily, 10am to last entry 3.30pm (closes 4pm) We recommend booking in advance to guarantee entry.
