The Entrance Hall
The design of the main Entrance Hall dates from the 1840s' remodelling.

The collection of weapons upon the walls includes a sword dating from 1745. It was excavated from the parklands where Bonnie Prince Charlie's army camped after the Battle of Prestonpans.

Oak panelling and a welcoming blaze in the fireplace would have offered guests a congenial atmosphere in which to remove muddy clothes and boots and take a moment to compose themselves before being ushered in to meet their hosts.

A scale model of the Castle is displayed in the centre of the room.
