Cessford Castle is an atmospheric ruin that was built in the 15th century by the Kerr family. The tower house is heavily fortified with walls 13 feet (4 m) thick in places. The strong defences are partly due to the family trade. The Kerrs were notorious thieves and robbers in the lawless border region during this period. This line of work led to bitter feuds between other clans. However, the castle was also caught in the midst of border wars between England and Scotland.

Vandring

An easy ride that passes the ruined Cessford Castle, that used to be the home of the Kerr family. They have moved up in the world to Floors Castle, a much grander home!
