Lauriston before the Reids

The inside of Lauriston today is the vision of William Robert Reid; however, the Castle was around for more than 600 years before he bought and shaped it. Join us to go back further in time and uncover some extremely interesting, and indeed scandalous stories around some of our previous owners! Edinburgh Living History are our multi award- winning team, who interpret the history of the castle in a variety of entertaining ways in Edwardian costume - bringing alive the history of the house. Each performance is carefully devised by Edinburgh Living History to be as historically accurate as possible and include a touch of drama and a soupçon of humour. Why not make a day of it at Lauriston and have some lunch at Mimi’s café.
