You can't miss Hermitage Castle if you're passing by bike, car or foot. The semi-ruined castle was built in the 13th Century and has been of paramount importance in the border conflict between England and Scotland, and many historical characters described it as “the guardhouse of the bloodiest valley in Britain”.
