Enjoying an elevated position above historic Edinburgh, this fine property is within a 20-minute ride of the vibrant city. Set within half-acre grounds, Liberton Tower is a magnificent 15th-century castle, commanding fine views from its parapet walkway. Owned by a preservation trust, it has been granted an international award for conservation, its grand interior combining tasteful period furnishings with modern comforts, elegantly laid out over three storeys.

The city's many attractions are close by, comprising an assortment of shops, museums, theatres and art galleries dominated by the towering mass of Edinburgh Castle. The new Museum of Scotland, regaling stories of Scotland's colorful past, is certainly worth a visit, as is the Royal Yacht Britannia and the domed structure of Dynamic Earth, where visitors can experience a close encounter with the veritable forces of nature. Just across the Forth Bridge is Culross, one Scotland's most picturesque settlements, with its whitewashed, red-tiled buildings.

The many attractions include the NT Visitor Center, Culross Palace and the remains of Culross Abbey. The Perthshire Highlands, Borders and Fife, offering good walking opportunities and numerous golf courses, are within driving distance. Many pubs and restaurants close by.
