One of the finest townhouses Haddington boasted was Bothwell Castle, which belonged to the Cockburns of Sandybed and dated possibly from the late sixteenth century . Situated on the left bank of the Tyne below the new bridge, Bothwell Castle was ruinous by the turn of the century and was taken down in 1966.
