Crichton Castle Midlothian Scotland

From the West there came haunting melodies.  Not fairy tunes from fey folk, rather the sounds of wedding celebrations from Borthwick Castle which stands just close by.  After an unplanned slide, or two down the defensive dykes it was time to call it a night, a magical night full bright wonders at the head of the River Tyne.

The ruins here are rather glorious.  They are situated 2 miles South of Pathhead and two miles East of Gorebridge in Midlothian, Scotland.  Borthwick Castle lies just a mile away to the South-West.  Unfortunately there is no access to Borthwick Castle unless you have hired the venue.  If you can get to Crichton Castle in the day light then do take a look the remains of the grand interiors now open to the elements.
