Bemersyde House, Category A listed manor house in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom.

The grand residence features refined architectural elements surrounding a 16th-century tower, with extensive grounds overlooking the Eildon Hills and River Tweed.

The British Government acquired the property in 1921 and presented it to Field-Marshal Earl Haig, who commanded British forces during World War I.

The motto 'Tyde what may' comes from a 13th-century poem predicting the continuous presence of the Haig family at this ancestral residence.

The manor includes eleven bedrooms across three floors, multiple kitchens, drawing rooms, and accommodates up to twenty-three guests for private stays.

The estate extends over 12,000 acres with direct access to River Tweed fishing spots and maintains a collection of family artifacts spanning eight centuries.
