Billie Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Scottish Borders, United Kingdom.

The fortified structure contains a central keep with dimensions of 16 meters square and rises approximately 2.5 meters above ground level.

The castle appears in traditional Berwickshire songs along with Blanerne Castle and Bunkle Castle, indicating its regional significance during the medieval period.

The fortress maintains a complex water defense system with single ditches on three sides and double ditches to the south, enhanced by earthen dams.
