HOME TO THE MAITLAND FAMILY
A Family Home
Thirlestane Castle and the Maitland family have played an important role in the political and military history of Scotland. As the historic seat of the Duke of Lauderdale, it has been home to the Maitland family for over 400 years.
The history of the ground upon which Thirlestane Castle now stands dates back to at least the 12th Century.
