Bonnie Prince Charlie's Room
Prince Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie, stayed here in 1745.

After victory at the Battle of Prestonpans, he led the clan armies south through Lauder and the troops camped in the Castle Parklands.

The room is furnished as it might have been in the 19th century. The bell pull beside the bed is connected to bells outside the old servants' quarters.
