This splendid 13th century castle was home to three noble families in the space of 400 years - the de Vauxes, Haliburtons and Ruthvens. After the downfall of the Ruthvens, it was abandoned as a noble residence. Badly damaged during Cromwell's siege of 1650, it was rescued in the 1660s by the Nisbet family, who built a new mansion nearby. They also revitalized the gardens, which now include the world's longest herbaceous border.
