Borthwick Castle is one of the largest and best-preserved surviving medieval Scottish fortifications. It is located twelve miles (19 km) south-east of Edinburgh to the east of the village of Borthwick on a site protected on three sides by a steep fall in the ground. It was constructed in 1430 for Sir William Borthwick from whom the castle takes its name
