Whittingehame Tower, Medieval castle in East Lothian, Scotland.

The stone tower features an L-shaped design with a rectangular main block, small stair wing, and distinctive corbelled parapet with rounded corners.

Originally owned by the Cospatrick Earls of March in the 14th century, the tower later passed through the Douglas, Seton, Hay, and Balfour families.

The tower hall displays a collection of historical documents and prints that illustrate the property's connection to Scottish nobility and governance.

The entrance to this category A listed building is accessed through the stair wing, leading to multiple levels including a vaulted basement.

In 1853, the first cider gum tree in Great Britain was planted in the grounds of Whittingehame Tower and lasted over 100 years.
