Cavers Castle, Tower house ruin in Scottish Borders, Great Britain
The five-story stone structure stands with a symmetrical seven-bay front and features a three-window semi-circular bow at its center, reflecting classical architectural design.
Originally owned by the Baliols in the 12th century, the castle passed to James Douglas in 1511 and underwent substantial modifications during the 17th and 18th centuries.
The castle represents the evolution of Scottish architecture, transforming from a medieval defensive tower to an aristocratic residence with Scottish Baronial style modifications.
The ruins stand on private land surrounded by safety fencing, with no designated parking available and restricted access during ongoing forestry clearing operations.
Recent plans propose transforming the historic ruins into a 64-room family residence, marking a new chapter in the castle's eight-century existence.
