Barnbougle Castle is a much-altered tower house on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, between Cramond and Queensferry, and within the parish of Dalmeny. It lies within the Earl of Rosebery's estate, just northwest of Dalmeny House. Although its history goes back to the 13th century, the present castle is the result of rebuilding in 1881 by the 5th Earl of Rosebery, who served as Prime Minister from 1894–1895. ==Etymology== Older forms of the name include Barnbughall, Barbogle, Parnbogalle, and Pronbugele. This comes from the British ''brinn bugel'', meaning 'shepherd's hill', or ''bar an bugel'', 'shepherd's hill top', or alternatively ''pren bugel'', 'shepherd's tree'.〔Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html).〕 All these names likely refer to the high ground which rises immediately behind the shore, which indeed give excellent views of the grazings around the mouth of the Cockle Burn.
