It may be known alternatively as Den Miln Castle. [2] It is a scheduled monument.[3] HistoryThe Balfours owned the property from 1452 to 1710. [1] The castle dates from the late 16th century.[2] In 1460 James Balfour of Denmylne died at the siege of Roxburgh Castle, while John his son was killed in the battle of Flodden in 1513. Sir James Balfour, 1st Baronet of Denmilne and Kinnaird was appointed Lord Lyon King of Arms in 1639 (according to Coventry). He compiled an important collection of Scottish historical manuscripts; and he also officiated at the coronations of both Charles I and Charles II. His brother Sir Andrew Balfour was the founder of the first Edinburgh Botanic Garden.[1]StructureThe tower house is cross shaped, comprising a main block, a stair-tower projecting centrally, and a matching small rectangular tower. The structure has three storeys, and a garret with a corbelled-out parapet at one gable.There are large windows, and a number of gunloops. A courtyard surrounded the castle.[1] The main block is {{convert|41.5|ft}} by {{convert|24|ft}}. It lies north west to south east. The stair wing is to the north east and the other projection to the south west.[2] See also
