Excerpt from The Ruined Castles of Mid-Lothian: Their Position; Their Families; Their Ruins; And Their HistoryMaterials do not exist for an extended account of Cousland Castle. The description of it, there fore, is necessarily brief. Though comparatively unknown, the Castle is a place of considerable interest, being closely associated with the sad tale of the unfortunate Mary Queen of Scots. It was under its shadow, and not on Carberry Hill, that her actual surrender, to the Associate Lords, took place on the 15th of June 1567.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
