Neidpath Castle was founded as far back as 1190 but the present castle was mostly built in the 14th century. It's a rare example of a fortified tower house.
It's not open to the public although you can walk past close by. It is a holiday and wedding venue though so you can hire it if you wish. The castle has also featured as the backdrop in several films and tv series.
