We walked about five miles from our flat to the coast where Lauriston Castle sits on a bluff with beautiful views. Although the castle dates back to 1593, what most visitors enjoy during their visit are the "modern" authentic furnishings. When the last occupants moved into the castle in 1902, they installed central heating, hot water, toilets (see photo) and even double glass windows. Quite advanced. When they donated the castle to Scotland in 1926, all the furniture was left inside the house; you can really catch a glimpse of what living in the Edwardian time must have been like. There was even an original copy of the Daily Mirror reporting about the Titanic disaster in 1912.
