The formidable border fortress with an intriguing and colourful history spread over more than 900 years. Once governing the western end of the Anglo-Scottish border, the castle has endured a never-ending barrage of seiges and raids over the centuries. It was even the temporary home of the renowned Scottish reiver Kinmont Willie for a while - until he was rescued by his comrades from the dungeon right under the noses of his guards! But that's just one of many stories ...
