Seton Castle

Seton Castle is an 18th-century Georgian castellated house in East Lothian, Scotland, designed as Robert Adam's final Scottish project and built on the site of the older Seton Palace. The house forms a curved fortified screen wall with shaped towers around an entrance court and sits within parkland beside Seton Collegiate Church. It retains classical interior details and was restored and lived in into the 21st century.

As it stood in 1791

The shape it held in its prime.

A late-Georgian castellated mansion of yellow-brown ashlar forming a low, horizontal silhouette; a curved screen wall with a central rounded carriage arch links shaped, drum-like and rectangular towers with crenellated parapets. Two low wings project each side of the entrance court. Small vertical window openings and blind arches punctuate the screen wall. The house faces a broad clipped lawn and gravel drive, with mature trees and the medieval collegiate church nearby.
