Dundas Castle

Dundas Castle is a 15th-century castle, with substantial 19th-century additions by William Burn, near South Queensferry, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland. The home of the Dundas family since the Middle Ages, it was sold in the late 19th century and was the residence of politician and businessman Sir Jack Stewart-Clark. The tower house and the adjoining Tudor-Gothic mansion are listed separately as Category A buildings, and the grounds are included in Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.
