About Castle Gogar

Castle Gogar stands a few miles west of Edinburgh, close to South Gyle. Sadly, this is one of many examples of small parts of Scotland's heritage which have been fenced off by the privileged few to the exclusion of the many. The castle dates from 1626 and was built by the Cowper (Cooper) family. The lands had been the property of the Clan Seton from the time of King Robert I (The Bruce). The castle is privately owned and is apparently on the market.
