KNIGHTS TEMPLAR

A VERY SPACIOUS BEDCHAMBER

The Order of the Knights Templar of Scotland was founded in 1128 in Temple, Midlothian, just 5 miles from the site of Borthwick Castle.

In 1330 a group of Knights and Knights Templar sailed from North Berwick to Spain, carrying with them the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce to fight at the battle of Teba. The group included John Rosslyn and a young William Borthwick.

THE ROOM

Situated near the top of the North Tower and level with the Garrison, this is a very spacious twin bedchamber with a large daybed featuring lions head carvings.

The large windows provide lots of natural light and imposing views of the countryside below. Sliding oak doors open onto an arched ceiling bathroom alcove with a wet room shower.
