Floors Castle. Sir John Vanburgh is believed to have designed this seat for the first Duke of Roxburghe, in 1718. Originally it consisted of an oblong main block with towers at the four corners standing at the back of a forecourt open to the NW and enclosed on the NE by the East Pavillion, or stables, and on the SW by the West Pavillion, or offices. The whole had a frontage of 412ft. From 1838 to 1849 Vanburgh's design was modified and enhanced by W H Playfair of Edinburgh.
