Barnbougle Castle, Medieval castle in South Queensferry, Scotland.

Barnbougle Castle stands on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, featuring tall towers and crow-stepped gables against the coastal landscape.

The Mowbray family constructed the original tower house in the 13th century, which later underwent reconstruction by the 5th Earl of Rosebery in 1881.

The castle contains six libraries and a 60-foot Banqueting Hall with a Minstrel's Gallery where Victorian intellectuals gathered for discussions.

The venue accommodates up to 140 guests for seated events in the Banqueting Hall and provides on-site parking within its 2,000-acre private estate.

After the 5th Earl's death, the castle remained untouched for 90 years, preserving its original furnishings and ancestral portraits exactly as he left them.
