Lauriston Castle
Lauriston Castle is a 16th-century Scottish tower house with 19th-century extensions, situated on grounds overlooking the Firth of Forth in Edinburgh. Originally an L‑plan tower house, it was extended in 1827 with a Jacobean range and later preserved with largely Edwardian interiors; the estate and gardens function as a public park and are Category A listed.

As it stood in 1827
The shape it held in its prime.
A four‑storey stone L‑plan tower house with a circular stair turret at the angle and two‑storey angle turrets pierced by gun‑loops; the older tower is adjoined on one side by a Jacobean range added in 1827, creating a manor‑house roofline above the medieval core. The house sits within extensive designed grounds and lawns and faces east toward the Firth of Forth; at its prime it reads as a complete country manor built onto the original tower.
