Neidpath Castle

Neidpath Castle is a tall L-plan rubble-built Scottish tower house overlooking the River Tweed west of Peebles. Built in the later medieval period and remodelled in the 17th century, the castle retains its main tower, battlements and ancillary buildings and is still owned and managed for events and filming.

As it stood in 1686

The shape it held in its prime.

A tall L-plan rubble-built tower house with one short leg, rounded corner turrets and a compact, blocky silhouette; the roofline has roofed battlements and a balustraded sentry walk. Walls are coarse grey sandstone rubble with narrow slit windows (two with iron bars). The tower sits on a grassy slope above the River Tweed, with low outbuildings abutting the base, the ruined west wing visible, and terraced garden banks to the south‑east with a small summerhouse.
