Herdmanston House was a castle and later tower house located in the parish of Saltoun, East Lothian in Scotland.[1]
The lands of Herdmanston were held by the St Clair/Sinclair family from the 12th century, when Henry St Clair received a grant of lands of Herdmanston, from Richard de Morville, Constable of Scotland.[2] Described as an L-plan 16th century tower house, incorporating an earlier building. The tower was seized by Lord Gray of Wilton in 1548.[3]
The house was demolished on 31 May 1969, after the house had been declared unsafe and uninhabitable after use by the military during the Second World War. A gate pillar remains at the site.
Nearby are located the remains of the 13th century chapel, dedicated to St John the Evangelist and the vault of the Sinclair family.
