Seton Castle was built on the site of the Seton Palace, which formerly belonged to the Earls of Winton and was a popular retreat for Mary, Queen of Scots before being demolished in 1789 after 75 years of neglect. One Lt Col Alexander Mackenzie of the 21st Dragoons commissioned Robert Adam in the summer of 1789 to build Seton Castle. The demolition of Seton Palace provided a ready supply of stone for erecting the new building, situated in East Lothian, Scotland.
