Edmond Castle was enlarged and remodeled from 1824 to 1829 for Thomas Graham, to designs by Sir Robert Smirke, and subsequently further enlarged to designs by Sydney Smirke, in 1844-1846.

In 1937, THB Graham died, and his son Eric Graham inherited. In the late 1930s, Eric Graham sold Edmond Castle and the entire estate to Henry Studholme Cartmell and Stanley Walton, and it was used to house Czech refugees from about June 1940 onwards.

Edmond Castle was later a borstal for delinquent boys, and later a hotel, before being bought by a property developer David Dyke in 2005.

It is now home to Philip Day, the CEO and owner of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill retail chain.
