This Scottish Castle Has Just Hit The Market For £8M

The Traitors might be over for another year, but highlandcore endures – and if you’ve still got turrets and tartan on your mind, you’ll want to take a peek inside this breathtaking Scottish castle. 

You Can Now Live Inside This Traitors-Style Scottish Castle

While it doesn’t exactly look like your typical family home, Seton Castle in East Lothian is exactly that: an immaculately-maintained private residence. Dating back to 1789, it was built by Robert Adam, one of Britain’s most acclaimed neoclassical architects – and it’s said to have been the favoured retreat of Mary Queen of Scots.

Inside, you can expect a host of magical features like secret staircases and hidden doors (to say nothing of the dazzling silk-lined dining room and 10,000-bottle wine cellar). For all its history, however, Seton Castle has been meticulously updated to provide plenty of contemporary comforts: just take a look at the fully-fitted gym and the cinema room, or the high-tech security system. There’s even a helipad nestled within the 13-acre estate.

The castle itself is complete with a reception hall, drawing room, dining room and morning room, plus a library, study and music room. You’ll also spot a billiards room, a vaulted playroom and a sprawling kitchen/breakfast room which features a handsome double AGA. 

Alongside six bedrooms and four bathrooms, the castle boasts two three-bedroom cottages tucked away in the east and west wing. Even better? There’s a charming self-contained suite hidden within one of the turrets, which is accessible via a spiral staircase. It might be quite a climb, but it’s also the castle’s best viewing point: from its huge arched windows, you can see all the way to Arthur’s Seat and the Edinburgh skyline.

In the grounds, meanwhile, you can take a stroll across the formal lawns, pay a visit to the stables, or check out the castle’s very own tavern. It seems Seton Castle is giving The Traitors‘ haunt a run for its money…
