Neidpath Castle, Medieval castle in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom.
The L-shaped stone tower rises above the River Tweed, featuring thick defensive walls and a strategic position on a hillside near Peebles.
Sir William de Haya constructed the current castle structure in the late 14th century, replacing an earlier fortress built by Simon Fraser in 1263.
The castle maintains connections to Scottish nobility, receiving visits from Mary Queen of Scots in 1563 and King James VI in 1587.
The castle serves as a venue for private events and weddings, with multiple rooms available for ceremonies and receptions throughout the year.
During the 1650 Scottish invasion, this fortress endured the longest artillery assault of any stronghold south of the River Forth.
