List of governors of Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle

The governor of Edinburgh Castle, also sometimes known as the keeper or captain, had overall control of the royal castle of Edinburgh, Scotland. The governor was usually assisted by a deputy-governor and a constable, the latter being under the command of the Lord High Constable of Scotland.

The governor had lodgings within the castle, with a governor's house being built in 1742. Although the post was never formally abolished, governors ceased to be appointed after the death in 1876 of Henry Dundas, 3rd Viscount Melville.

The office was revived in 1936 as an honorary title for the general officer commanding of Scottish Command.[1] However, since 2015, this is no longer the case, with General Officer, Scotland and Governor of Edinburgh Castle being two separate appointments.

Governors of Edinburgh Castle

George Hamilton, 1st Earl of Orkney, Governor from 1714 to 1737
John Campbell, 4th Earl of Loudoun, Governor from 1763 to 1782
Archibald Montgomerie, 11th Earl of Eglinton, Governor from 1782 to 1796

The castle was in English hands from 1291 to 1314, during the Wars of Scottish Independence.

Following the Castle's recapture by the Scots under Thomas Randolph, 1st Earl of Moray in 1314, it was slighted and unused until the English returned in 1333.

The castle was again recaptured by the Scots under Sir William Douglas in 1341.

Modern governors

General Sir Neil Ritchie, Governor from 1945 to 1947
2019 handover from Riddell-Webster (R) to Bruce (L)
