Duns Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Scottish Borders, Great Britain
The castle exhibits Gothic Revival characteristics with pointed arches, lancet windows, and decorative finials spread across its stone facade.
Built in 1816 under the guidance of architect James Gillespie Graham, the castle incorporates elements from a 14th-century medieval structure.
The castle maintains a portrait collection that once included a painting of Prince Charles Edward Stuart commissioned by William Hay in Rome.
The castle requires advance reservations for visits and offers guided tours through its architectural features and surrounding Scottish Border landscapes.
John Baxter Jr designed the Gothic gateway in 1791 and added stables between 1792 and 1794, enhancing the castle grounds.
