Traquair House

Traquair house near Peebles.

As well as being a wildly romantic manor house, it’s also a three-room B&B. Claimed to be Scotland’s oldest inhabited house, you’ll also find actual items that belonged to Mary Queen of Scots, who once slept here, as well as a dazzling maze in the backyard.
