    Dear Sir/Madam

    We are a 6,000 acre Estate in North Yorkshire with a Grade I Listed house set in 40 acres of its own grounds. Details and images of the house can be found at our website http://www.newburghpriory.co.uk

    We have been used for a few bits of filming over the last ten years but are always keen to discuss new projects.

    Please feel free to contact me should you wish to discuss the matter further.

    Yours sincerely

    Stephen Wombwell

    Hi Kay,

    I’ve replied to Murray Ashton about this enquiry. Please do have a look at the email and do not hesitate to contact me for any further information.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    Thirlestane Castle has its origins in the 13th century. It was rebuilt as the Maitland family home in 1590 and greatly enhanced by the Duke of Lauderdale in the 1670’s. In 1840, it was extended and refurbished with the addition of two new wings.
    The Maitland’s are a famous Scottish family who first came to Britain from France with William the Conqueror. As the seat of the Earls and Duke of Lauderdale, the Castle has at times held a central role in the history of Scotland. Now in the care of a Charitable Trust, Thirlestane has been carefully restored to its former splendour.
    Nestling in the gentle Scottish Border Hills, with its rose pink sandstone and fairytale turrets, Thirlestane Castle holds a uniquely important place in Scottish history. It is one of the oldest and finest castles in the land, and home to one of the country’s most distinguished families.
    Only 40mins from the centre of Edinburgh on the trunk route A68.

    It’s not a huge country house and you can’t see the stables and cottages on this site.
    It’s owned by my cousins. They’ve had film units there before and would make you feel most welcome.
    if you want more pics let me know,
