Unlike a hotel, the Castle is booked in its entirety for a wide variety of events – weddings, conferences, business meetings, incentive travel group visits, golfing holidays, private dinner parties, launch parties and receptions. You can hire rooms out at the castle or even hire out the boathouse exclusively. There is also an option for glamping at the castle. There is no place more fit for a Kingsman to stay than a castle so be sure to add this to your bucket list.

Medieval Hawking or Falconry was the ancient sport of hunting small wild game or birds with trained birds of prey. The trained birds of prey were not restricted to falcons - hawks and occasionally eagles were also used. A Kingsman loves learning new skills. You never know when they might come in handy.

The piper will provide address to the haggis. You’ll also get to check out the castle’s impressive old weapons collection. But remember, a Kingsman never has weapons at the dinner table. At least in plain sight. Coffee & night caps in The Library Feel free to enjoy after dinner drinks. Freshly brewed fair trade coffee or tea and a luxury Scottish tablet. Read a book and learn a thing or two.

Check out of Dundas Castle PM Taxi to The Principal Edinburgh Phone a taxi from the castle to drop you off into the city Check in to The Principal Edinburgh Address: 19-21 George St, Edinburgh EH2 2PB Phone: 0131 225 1251 The Principal has been welcoming hotel guests since 1881. At its heart are five listed Georgian townhouses, built in 1775 as homes for Edinburgh’s most prosperous citizens. Winner of Scottish Hotel of the Year at the 2017 Scottish Hotel Awards, The Principal Edinburgh on George Street is an ideal base from which to explore the city or conduct business. The sensitive, multi-million-pound restoration and refurbishment combines luxurious natural materials such as oak, marble and leather with a palette of colours inspired by the great 19th-century Scottish landscape painters. A Kingsman always needs a safe and stylish place to retreat after a long day so The Principal Edinburgh is the perfect place to stay in the city.

Web: www.visitbritain.com | Twitter: @VisitBritain | Facebook: LoveGreatBritain | Instagram: LoveGreatBritain Shop: www.visitbritainshop.com Media Centre: www.visitbritain.org/online-media-centre The restaurant on George Street nods to the capital’s rich literary heritage. Number 25 was home in the 1780s to the acclaimed novelist Susan Ferrier, the equal of Jane Austen according to Sir Walter Scott, and Robert Burns was a frequent visitor. Late in 1840, records show one John Oliphant living there – and Oliphant’s and Ferrier’s descendants founded Oliphant, Anderson and Ferrier, one of Scotland’s most prestigious publishing houses. If you are here on a Sunday, enjoy their delicious Sunday roast.

Tucked away from the hotel lobby, Scotch offers the largest collection of single malt Scottish whiskies available to the general public in Edinburgh. The collection boasts over 500 whiskies from Speyside, Islay, Campbeltown, the Highlands and the Lowlands. Scotch’s collection is overseen by three highly trained Whisky Ambassadors who are on hand to offer guests advice when selecting a dram. The Whisky Ambassadors wear contemporary highland attire by Kinloch Anderson, kilt makers to Her Majesty The Queen, in cheviot, game keeper and gold tweeds mixed with gold satin trims and whisky coloured accents. A Kingsman certainly loves their whisky, so it only makes sense to visit the home of the largest collection of single malt Scottish whiskies.

    In re Dundas Family Pedigree of Jane Dundas White Born May 27, 1919 As far as the same has to do with the Dundas Family and its earlier female lines. May 27, 1922 ThePedigree ofJane Dundas White, born May 27, .1919, as far as the same has to. do with the Dundas Family, and of its earlier Female Lines. HE first person to use "Dundas'" as his family name T was Uthred, second Son of Cospatricius, First Earl of March. This Uthred lived during the reign of King David I ( 1124-53) and obtained from his Uncle Waldevus, the lands and barony of Du.ndas in West Lothian, includ­ ing D_undas Castle. His ancestors on the male side are herein traced to Crinian, who was "A man of the first "rank and quality and head of one of the greatest and most "opulent families in ·the North of England. _He flourished "about the end of the Tenth Century." Douglas' Peer­ ages, page 437.· Crinian''s son was Maldredus, and he mar­ ried Algatha the grand-daughter of Ethelred, King of Eng­ land from 979 to 1016, surnamed the "Unready."

The authorities principally relied on are two, viz:- J ames Anderson, "Royal Genealogies from Adam to 1732," printed in London in 1732, and the two volumes by Sir Robert Douglas, one called "The Peerages of Scot­ "land" published in 1764, and the other "The Baronages of "Scotland" published in 1798.

  • The Ancient Sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville*
    Proc SocAntiq Scot, 117 (1987), 233-264, fiche 3: A2-G14 The ancient sundials of Scotland Andrew R Somerville* SUMMARY Scotland has a rich heritage of Renaissance' sundials which are more numerous than in any other country. These are free-standing stone sculptures dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries, with many dials inscribed on them, often in shapes which may have symbolic significance. A catalogue has been prepared including those which have been recorded in the past and have now disappeared, as well as those which still survive. The various types are described and comparisons made with those in other countries, showing the unique character of the Scottish style. The reasons for their appearance in Scotland at this time are first of all material: more stable government and increased prosperity led to the building of mansion houses with pleasure gardens. Secondly, the Calvinist philosophy of the time frowned on decoration for its own sake and required function as well. Thirdly, interest in science was increasing, along with the Renaissance interest in re-discovering the esoteric knowledge of the ancients. In addition, freemasonry may have had its beginnings in Scotland in the late 16th century and certainly assumed considerable importance in the 17th; this is unlikely to be mere coincidence and the dials probably had a significance which went well beyond simple time-keeping. The main listing of the catalogue is given in microfiche form, but summaries are printed. CONTENTS PRINTED SECTION Introduction ............... 234 Description of the dials ............. 235 History and continental influences ........... 246 Symbolism ............... 251 Conclusions ............... 254 The Catalogue .............

Created some time between 1877 and 1881 by the barely thirty-year old Stephen Adam in collaboration with David Small, his partner in the studio he opened in Glasgow in 1870, these panels are unique among stained glass works of the time in that they depict the workers of the then independent burgh not for the most part in the practice of traditional trades (baker, weaver, flesher, cooper, hammerman, etc.) (see Pt.

  • West Lothian
    A FLORISTI CAL AND ECOLOGICAL SURVEY OF WEST LOTHIAN BY MARY. M. B. S EATON, B. SC. m '03 A SURVEY Or THE FLORA OF WEST LOTHIAN. r1 A! ,!.'! !!.r! =100.. 111..l.! IMIEMO! r ]01rr! 1. ECOLOGY. In this paper an atteelpt is made to give a general outline of the flora and the main plant associations of West Lothian; to correlate these with the geological, topographical, and climatic features; and to show the varying effects of Man's var-ring activities in mod if -ring them. Since the surve7 was limited to two 'rears' field work it was not possible to adduce direct evidence of progression or retrogression within the different plant associations. It had been hoped that such modifications might have been inferred from reference to previous records but on the commencement of field work it soon became evident that the localities previously survezred were not defined with sufficient exactness to permit of this. Neither was the frequencir of occurrence of the various species indicated in greater, detail. In the circumstances, so far as this particular inquiry was concerned, the best that could be done was to lay a foundation in greater detail upon ;rhich future work on this most interesting and important question could be based. The method finall'r adopted was to choose definite lines traversing botaniceL l7 variable tracts in the county. These lines were surve --ed s7stematica7l7 any' the associations through which the passed studied, the plants composing them listed, their reletive frequencies noted, and the present delimitations of such associations recorded.

From the moment you make your decision until you’ve settled happily in, we’ll be there to help. 01 Welcome home 02 Living in Kirkliston 08 Floor plans 16 Specification 20 How to find us Plot information Plot information Balvenie B See Page 08 Deanston See Page 09 Dalwhinnie See Page 10 Strathisla See Page 11 Existing Properties Iona See Page 12 Bowmore See Page 13 TODDSHILL ROAD Dewar See Page 14 Existing Properties Ardmore See Page 15 116 117 V MANSE ROAD 118 V 115 Existing Properties 114 119 B 113 112 111 110 Stream 109 120 108 107 106 121 V V Development PATH BRAE V 122 V By Others 123 124 105 104 101 103 125 102 105 126 128 104 101 127 129 103 102 V 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 V V V 148 149 150 155 130 147 163 163 162 160 149 159 161 146 148 154 153 147 164 145 152 144 151 V V 164 145 134 143 V V 142 144 141 151 137 140 152 135 136 138 139 153 154 131 133 The artist’s impressions 132 (computer-generated graphics) have been GATESIDE ROAD prepared for illustrative purposes and are indicative only.
