Cakemuir Castle

Cakemuir Castle is an historic house situated 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Pathhead, in the Lammermuir Hills, Midlothian, Scotland.

This feature is common to Tolquhon Castle and Crossraguel Abbey, and may symbolise Protestant sympathy.

[6] The panelled Hall, known as Queen Mary's room, commemorates Mary, Queen of Scots, who, dressed as a page, met up with Bothwell in Cakemuir Castle after fleeing from Borthwick Castle in June 1567.

[2] An heraldic shield bearing the Wauchope arms on the east gable was once located above the original entrance.

[4] The castle was internally modernised under the hand of the architect Arthur Forman Balfour Paul in 1926[7] Now owned by the Douglas-Miller family, the castle has a 2-acre (0.81 ha) walled garden featuring box hedging, rhododendrons and fruit trees.
