Ancient and modern

Comlongon Castle Hotel is one of the most romantic places you could go in Scotland.

Even though it's steeped in history, the rooms mix ancient and mod cons alike. For example, the Royal Bridal Suite has a double jacuzzi in addition to King Henry VIII's four poster bed.

The castle itself has a blood-curdling history; it was used to hold prisoners, often snatched for ransom from the other side of the border.

Of course, the English had their equivalent, just outside Carlisle - so it often ended up in big-boys swapsies - one ransomed prisoner in exchange for another.
