GUEST,Davie Robertson Origins: Maid of Cockenzie (48) RE: Origins: Maid of Cockenzie 12 Oct 18

Although their title was "Earl of Wintoun" and they possessed a mansion house at Winton and a town house in the Canongate, Edinburgh, the main residence of the Earls of Wintoun was at Seton. Originating as a fortified house this much-extended dwelling became known as "Seton Palace". It fell into ruins after the forfeiture of the Jacobite Earl of Wintoun in 1715 and was demolished in the 1790s. It was replaced by an Adam mansion often called "Seton Castle" in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
