Traquair House, approximately 5 miles south of Peebles, is claimed to be the oldest continually inhabited house in Scotland. It is built in the style of a fortified mansion, and not strictly a castle. It predates the Scottish Baronial style of architecture, and may have been one of the influences on this style. It is built on the site of a hunting seat used by the Scottish kings from the 12th century, though no part of the present building can be dated with certainty before the 15th century.

The house is open to the public and counts among its features: The Bear Gates, which were last closed in 1745 by the Jacobite army marching South to England.

  • Traquair House je historický dům, ležící asi 8 kilometrů jihovýchodně od města Peebles, ve skotské správní oblasti Scottish Borders. Dům byl vystavěn původně jako opevněné výletní a lovecké sídlo, které ovšem nemělo znaky hradu, či zámku. Vystavěn do dnešní podoby byl v roce 1107 a je považován za nejdéle pernamentně osídlený dům ve Skotsku. V místě je i malý pivovar, užívající stejného jména, rozsáhlý park s keřovým bludištěm, „Medvědí brána“, jenž nesmí být znovuotevřena, dokud nebudou v zemi opět vládnout Stuartovci a jiné zajímavosti.
  • Traquair House är ett slott/herrgård och ett ölbryggeri i södra Skottland. Bryggeriet grundades 1965 av Peter Maxwell Stuart.
