Neidpath Castle

Neidpath Castle is an L-plan rubble-built tower house, overlooking the River Tweed about a miles west of Peebles in Peeblesshire. The castle, which belongs to the Earl of Wemyss and March, is closed to the public.

An early castle was probably built here between 1263 and 1266. Sir William de Haya probably built the present castle in the late 14th century. (Read more)
