Traquair House The Bear Gates at the main entrance to the grounds were installed by the fifth Earl, Charles Stuart, in 1738. When they were closed, after Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) passed through in 1745, the Earl vowed they would never be opened again until a Stuart king returned.[1]

The house has a bed said to have been slept in by Mary, Queen of Scots, along with some relics belonging to her and the Jacobites. The Museum Room has a mural on one wall dating from about 1530, one of the oldest to survive in a secular building in Scotland. The garden contains a recently planted maze. An annual Traquair Fair is held on the first weekend in August.
