Seton Castle, Category A listed castle in East Lothian, Scotland
Located northeast of Tranent, Seton Castle stands as a Georgian mansion designed by architect Robert Adam, featuring shaped towers and curved walls.
The castle, built in 1789, replaced Seton Palace, which served as a retreat for Mary, Queen of Scots and experienced destruction during the Jacobite Rising.
The castle represents the final architectural project of Robert Adam in Scotland, incorporating classical interior details and Georgian design elements.
The mansion spans 18,196 square feet with seven bedrooms and maintains original features including a cantilevered stone staircase and stone pillars.
The grounds contain remnants of three round towers from the original palace, with one tower featuring a preserved medieval gunloop.
