Old Woodhouselee Castle was a 16th-century tower house located approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) northeast of Penicuik, Midlothian, Scotland.
According to reports, Regent Moray expelled Lady Hamilton and her young from the castle, leaving them naked; the child subsequently died, and Lady Hamilton reportedly went mad.
Her husband, James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh and Woodhouselee, later assassinated Regent Moray at Linlithgow in 1570.
[1] The castle was demolished in the late 17th century, with its materials used to construct Woodhouselee, a building that has since also disappeared.
[2] According to legend, the ghost of Lady Hamilton, dressed in white and constantly looking for her missing child, haunts the ruins of Old Woodhouselee Castle.
