Review

Nestled on 1,200 acres in the Scottish borderlands southeast of Edinburgh, this fairytale-like Gothic-revival castle estate has stood the test of time: the same family has resided here for over 300 years, and only recently opened it up for buyouts.

With 12 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms in the main castle, as well as 10 cottages that can sleep an additional 26 people, Duns Castle is a great property for large groups and weddings. The owners can arrange a multitude of activities on property from hunting and fishing to archery, horseback riding, four-wheeling and much more.
