About
Elibank Castle is a ruined fortified house dating from the late 16th century. It stands south of the River Tweed and the A72, around 3km east of Walkerburn in the Scottish Borders. The ruins are a scheduled monument.
A 16th-century tower house of the Murray family above the River Tweed. According to legend, a young Scott of Harden was caught stealing Murray cattle and given the choice of hanging or marrying Murray's plain-faced daughter Meg — he chose Meg, and the marriage proved happy. The ruins are atmospheric, hidden in woodland above the Tweed between Innerleithen and Galashiels.
