History: 13th century castle rebuilt in the 16th century as a T-plan
Scottish Towerhouse.
Luffness Castle is located behind mature trees off the Aberlady to Gullane
road, just east of Aberlady village, Luffness Castle (also known as Luffness
House). Remains include a moat, earthworks, stair-tower, gun-loops, dovecote
and turrets.
The building was reputedly built for the Earls of Dunbar and March. At
one point the House became a monastery. The Hope family gained Luffness
in the 18th century.
