Easterheughs Castle is in a unique and
breathtaking location on the edge of the Firth of Forth with panoramic
views across the estuary to Edinburgh Castle, the Forth bridges and
the Pentland Hills.
The castle is
guaranteed to enthral, intrigue and surprise holidaymakers. The
first surprise is that this seemingly 16th century tower is only
70 years old! It was lovingly hand-built from stone and timber
reclaimed from various historic sites throughout Fife – including
Burntisland Castles where Mary Queen of Scots stayed - and deserves
its Grade A-listed status. This is the former home of famous Scottish
painter Jack Vettriano. The annexe adjoining the castle, which
sleeps two, was his studio and is available for let with the castle
at no extra charge.
The second surprise is cleverly concealed behind a false door in
the grand drawing room and is the small movie theatre with projector
screen and cinema seats. There is a formal, timber-floored dining
room, which lends itself to ceilidhs. The bedrooms are small and
accessed by steep, twisty stairs, however they have fabulous views
and the bathrooms are bright and modern.
The castle grounds have been landscaped and a large area of timber
decking is a perfect spot for enjoying a drink or a barbecue while
watching the sun go down over the Forth. There are three acres, much
of it lawned and ideal for games, with a private path leading to
the Fife coastal path.
This is a wonderful base for exploring Edinburgh, the East Neuk
of Fife fishing villages and the hills and glens of Perthshire and
Angus.
