Midhope Castle

Midhope Castle is a 16th-century tower house in Scotland. It is situated in Abercorn on the Hopetoun estate, about 2.5 miles to the west of South Queensferry, on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
The derelict castle represents the much-altered 5-storey, oblong tower house. In 1678, Midhope was given a facelift when an entrance tower was removed and the extension to the east was heightened and extended. A new doorway was added along with a small courtyard to the south. During the latter 16th century, the castle belonged to Alexander Drummond of Midhope, brother to Robert Drummond of Carnock, Master of Work to the Crown of Scotland. A stone inscribed "AD 1582 MB" commemorates Alexander and his wife Marjory Bruce.
A painted ceiling from the tower survives in the care of Historic Scotland at Edinburgh. It includes cinquefoil motifs and probably commemorates the marriage of Sir Robert Drummond, who became laird in 1619, to a Hamilton heiress. The family motto was "ad astra per ardua" and fragments from another painted ceiling had gold stars from the family crest.
Midhope Castle is featured as a location in the Outlander TV series on Starz/Amazon as the main character, Jamie Fraser's family home known as “Lallybroch”.
