Craig Miller Castle

Craig Miller Castle is just few minutes outside Edinburgh – it is one of the best Medieval castles I visited. The Historic Scotland guide told us it had only been invaded once. It sits in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, so to speak, and I doubt many people make the visit. It may not be ornate, but it is surprisingly well intact - it's a great place to explore and imagine. I've visited enough castles now to know I'm glad not to have lived in them - they are generally cold and damp.
