Hume Castle
Hume Castle sits on a prominent grassy mound above the village of Hume in Berwickshire, Scotland. Originating in the late 12th or early 13th century, its medieval keep and enceinte were later slighted and partly rebuilt; the present dramatic crenellated silhouette dates from an 18th-century restoration. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is open to the public under the care of a trust.

As it stood in 1794
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched atop a rounded, steep grassy mound, the castle presents a continuous grey-stone curtain wall topped by very large, rectangular crenellations. Two higher wall-stubs rise above the parapet, remnants of an inner keep; a flagstaff stands at one end. The masonry is rough local stone, with no roofs visible and open battlements. The mound is surrounded by green farmland and hedgerows, with a solitary mature tree on the forward slope beneath the walls.
