Cessford Castle in different views
Cessford Castle is a ruin near the village of Cessford. The castle was the capital of the Baroness of Cessford and the main fortress of the Kers/Kerrs.

Cessford Castle is one of the most important historical and architectural monuments on the Scottish borders. Built around 1450, the building has about 14 feet thick defensive walls.

Cessford Castle is one of the few buildings from this period to have escaped total destruction. A large part of the main tower is still preserved today, but the structure unfortunately continues to deteriorate.

That's a lot of bricks................and I suspect a lot of them have been "borrowed" over the years for other projects :-)

It's still a very impressive monument though............and still very photogenic. It looks really beautiful in the lush green landscape, surrounded by sheep.

With walls that thick I'm not surprised it survived. The Kerrs were mostly left handed and built their spiral staircases the opposite way round as it was easier for them to defend. I wonder if there are any examples in this ruin.
