Press Castle is a 17th-century manor house located near Coldingham in the Scottish Borders, approximately 2 miles (3 km) west of the village, by the Ale Water. The estate encompasses around 13 acres (5.3 hectares) of grounds.
Originally constructed in the 17th century, Press Castle underwent significant reconstruction in the 19th century. The current structure is a three-storey building, including a basement, featuring a castellated parapet and a Tudor-Gothic entrance porch accessible via a stairway. Over the years, the manor has served various purposes, including a functioning hotel, and has been divided into apartments in more recent times.
The surrounding area is notable for its colonies of red squirrels, adding to the estate’s natural charm.
Today, Press Castle stands as a testament to the architectural evolution of Scottish manor houses, reflecting both 17th-century origins and 19th-century modifications.
