Carberry Tower Mansion House East Lothian

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate is the perfect base to launch your dream Scottish holiday from. So whether you like activity breaks, golfing breaks, historic and cultural delights, or the excitement of being so close to Edinburgh – one of Europe’s oldest and most beautiful capital cities, there is an abundance of things to do nearby. And because our Household has such a rich Royal history and also because we like to treat our guests like Royalty, we felt it would be most appropriate to specifically recommend places to go and things to see that are top-rated attractions and destinations – all of which are conveniently located within a 15-30 minute journey from the Estate. 

Carberry Tower Mansion House and Estate is a place of intimate grandeur. And to arrive here, is to weave your own journey into a story that goes back to 1480 when our first foundation stone was laid.

Since then, we have been a gathering place for Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses and over the centuries the great and the good have also come to warm themselves by our fires and feast from our banqueting tables.

And today, more strongly than ever, the banner that reigns over Carberry Tower continues to reflect the matchless values of excellence, abundance and grace – coupled together of course, with the very warmest of Scottish hospitality.
