Duns Castle
Duns Castle is a historic house in Duns, Berwickshire, whose oldest element is a Norman keep or pele tower from around 1320. The building was expanded and remodelled into a Gothic-revival castle by James Gillespie Graham between 1818 and 1822 and remains a private estate with public parkland and lakes.

As it stood in 1822
The shape it held in its prime.
L-shaped ashlar stone castle with a dominant central entrance block flanked by square and round towers topped by crenellated parapets and short cylindrical turrets. Pale buff sandstone walls punctured by tall pointed-arched and mullioned windows and vertical window bays; a deep-set arched main doorway sits beneath a projecting entrance bay. The roofline is broken by battlements and low chimneys; the house stands behind a low stone boundary wall opening onto parkland and two small ornamental lakes.
