41 - Innerwick Castle
[Note]
"InnerwicK Castle of which there are still considerable remains, was
probably built in feudal times, as a security to the Scottish border. It was
an inheritance of the stewarts who, for so long a period, held a superiority over the neighbouring lands, but at length be-
-came a baronial stronghold of the Hamiltons of Innerwick. In 1403 in which year the Earl of Dunbar led the Northumbrians
as far as Innerwick, the castle, in which chalmers conjectures that an English Garrison was left on the occassion, was taKen and laid
prostrate by the Regent Albany." See Stat Acct, [Statistical Account] (1841)
