Although the first castle was here already in the 13th century, the present Hume Castle was erected in 1794 by the Earl of Marchmont - as a folly. There are terrific views of the surrounding countryside from the castle - worth getting up there.

Fortress style castle atop a hill, you can imagine it was a pretty imposing sight in the 15th Century. Good view from the top of the hill if you decide to get off and clamber up there.
