Today, the current owners are decedents of the Balliols who once occupied and ruled this Royal burgh. The castle and its grounds are being restored and revitalised with respect to its medieval occupants, and its long history since Roland of Galloway fortified the site in stone 850 years ago. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa -

The castle grounds have a fruit trees, herbs and vegetables. Tobias is truly a wonderful gentleman and host. He prepared an amazing breakfast both mornings which consisted of local flavors ( haggis, blood pudding, potato cakes, eggs, bacon and sausage). Tobias gave us a tour of the chapel and grand hall with interesting history. Baron James prepared a formal dinner which was also delicious. We are Maxwell descendants by DNA and name so the link to this castle is intriguing. ##### Carol G. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Red Squirrel, Stevenston by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stevenston-Hotels-Red-Squirrel.h31884764.Hotel-Information) > - [Tigh Mor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stirling-Hotels-Tigh-Mor.h23064993.Hotel-Information) > - [UHI Inverness – Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Cityheart-Inverness-Campus-Accommodation.h18692953.Hotel-Information) > - [Bentley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Bentley-Hotel.h32118669.Hotel-Information) > - [Strathburn Hotel Inverurie by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverurie-Hotels-Strathburn-Hotel-Inverurie-By-Compass-Hospitality.h12578746.Hotel-Information) > - [Rusacks St Andrews](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Andrews-Hotels-Rusacks-St-Andrews.h21486.Hotel-Information) > - [Crieff Hydro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Crieff-Hotels-Crieff-Hydro.h574583.Hotel-Information) > - [Harbour Lights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels-Harbour-Lights.h48443876.Hotel-Information) > - [Wyndham Duchally Country Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Auchterarder-Hotels-CLC-Duchally-Country-Estate-Hotel-Resort.h79023.Hotel-Information) > - [Muthu Oban Regent Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Hotels-Muthu-Oban-Regent-Hotel-Refurbished.h1419323.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Inverness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Inverness-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Inverness.h20408.Hotel-Information) > - [Myrtle Bank Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Myrtle-Bank-Hotel.h20233396.Hotel-Information) > - [Seabraes Apartments and Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundee-Hotels-Seabraes.h67115620.Hotel-Information) > - [Lochgreen House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Troon-Hotels-Lochgreen-House-Hotel.h12755818.Hotel-Information) > - [The Park Hotel Peebles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peebles-Hotels-The-Park-Hotel-Peebles.h13177753.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Blu Hotel, Perth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Perth-Hotels-The-Station-Hotel.h4564713.Hotel-Information) > - [The Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kirkcaldy-Hotels-The-Victoria-Hotel.h4482159.Hotel-Information) > - [Hot tub lodge with stunning view](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taynuilt-Hotels-Hot-Tub-Lodge-With-Stunning-View.h59769535.Hotel-Information) > - [Loch Lomond Waterfront Luxury Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Loch-Lomond-Waterfront-Luxury-Lodges.h27365911.Hotel-Information) > - [Raven’s Cliff, Motherwell by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motherwell-Hotels-Ravens-Cliff.h23151361.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Bank Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Pine-Bank-Chalets.h29344496.Hotel-Information) > - [Buccleuch Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moffat-Hotels-Buccleuch-Arms-Hotel-Restaurant.h5436640.Hotel-Information) > - [The Millcroft Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gairloch-Hotels-Millcroft-Hotel.h35254076.Hotel-Information) > - [Highgrove House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmarnock-Hotels-Highgrove-House-Hotel.h29841477.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Strathspey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Macdonald-Strathspey-Hotel.h2429678.Hotel-Information) > - [Macdonald Aviemore Woodland Lodges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aviemore-Hotels-Macdonald-Aviemore-Luxury-Woodland-Lodges.h34755276.Hotel-Information) > - [Metro Inns Falkirk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falkirk-Hotels-OYO-Metro-Inns-Falkirk.h22202528.Hotel-Information) > - [The Fox And Willow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-The-Fox-And-Willow.h4563123.Hotel-Information) > - [The Esplanade Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunoon-Hotels-OYO-The-Esplanade-Hotel.h6467698.Hotel-Information) ---
