Rising from a rocky crag above the River Tweed, Neidpath Castle has witnessed nearly eight hundred years of Scottish history.
We begin with the Frasers, and follow the extraordinary story of Sir Simon Fraser: a man who fought for the English, changed sides to join William Wallace, and then defeated an English army three times in a single day.
We then trace three centuries of Hay family ownership: the building of the L-plan tower house that still stands today, royal visits from Mary Queen of Scots and James VI, and the violent world of the Border Reivers.
We explore Cromwell's disputed siege of 1650, the castle's remarkable resilience, and its later life in the hands of the Douglas and Wemyss families. And we end with two of Scotland's greatest literary figures: William Wordsworth, and Sir Walter Scott.
Today, Neidpath Castle remains privately owned by the Wemyss family. A place where the past is very much still present (https://www.neidpathcastle.com).
This is the penultimate episode in series 1 of Hidden Histories of the Scottish Borders. After next week’s episode, the series will return in August.
