Hermitage Castle, Semi-ruined castle in Scotland
Hermitage Castle is a ruined fortress in Castleton in the Scottish Borders. The site shows the scattered remains of stone walls and foundations that once formed a substantial medieval stronghold.
The castle dates to the medieval period and once served as a significant defensive position in the area. Over the centuries it was gradually abandoned and deteriorated into the ruins visible today.
The site is freely accessible, though the path to the castle winds through woodland and can be uneven. Sturdy footwear and care are wise choices, especially when the ground is wet.
