Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of human discovery, whose origins can be traced back to ancient times. Thanks to such a design, a watercourse – natural or artificial – made it possible to simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of natural elements, for example, to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit. There are essentially two drive variants for watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel – usually through a so-called "mill channel" – and falls onto the blades. This design, thanks to natural gravity, ensures greater efficiency.

Ford Castle in Northumberland is a historic Grade I listed building with a stormy past. Built around 1278, it served as a border stronghold for centuries, witnessing battles and even hosting the Scottish King James IV before his final fight. The castle changed hands throughout history, from the Heron family to the Joiceys. Today, it's no longer a private residence. Instead, it functions as an outdoor activity center for schools and youth groups, offering a unique blend of history and adventure.

A truly magnificent castle, and a Category A listed building. It is the home of the Duke of Roxburghe, and, apparently, the largest inhabited castle in Scotland. It was built for the 1st Duke in 1721-26 by William Adam, on the site of a previously existing house (House of Floris), and then extensively redone by W H Playfair in 1837-47 from the Georgian original to the way it is looking now. This is an unmissable place. It is open to tourists. Please see the Castle's website for more information and tickets: https://www.floorscastle.com/

Norham stands as one of the most captivating sights in the border region. Perched atop a lush hillock, it commands a crucial ford over the River Tweed, having held immense significance as a formidable stronghold in this historically turbulent area. It endured frequent assaults from the Scots, facing no less than 13 sieges, including a nearly year-long encirclement led by Robert Bruce. Despite the strength of its robust 12th-century keep and imposing towered bailey walls, it ultimately succumbed to the might of James IV's formidable cannons in 1513, just prior to his fateful defeat at Flodden Field. The extensive reconstruction during the 16th century, tailored to accommodate artillery, still bears evident marks, showcasing the fortress's adaptation to changing times.
