Traquair House
Traquair House is a fortified Scottish manor near Peebles long held by the Stuart family and claimed to be the oldest continually inhabited house in Scotland. Architecturally it reads as a compact fortified mansion with turrets and a steep roofline rather than a medieval keep. The estate includes historic domestic brewery fittings and the sealed Bear Gates at the main entrance.

The shape it held in its prime.
A compact, rectangular fortified mansion of four storeys with a steep pitched roof punctuated by a line of small gabled dormers and multiple tall chimneys. Pale grey sandstone walls are pierced by regularly spaced small rectangular windows; corbelled circular angle turrets project from the façade. A low stone boundary and ornate stone gate piers with iron gates (the Bear Gates) sit before a planted lawn, backed by wooded hills in the Tweed valley.
