You have to book tickets in advance online. We didn’t know this but enjoyed the visit anyway. Had a good walk around and fascinated by the design and structure of the 15th Century Tower. The other reason is being a Pringle I am on a road of ancestry.

Amazing sight if you're interested in Border reiver and Sir Walter Scott related history. The steward was a great bloke, friendly and informative.

Very small site over 4 floors.. Every floor has something to stop and look at/read.. You have to drive along farm tracks to get to it but it's well worth the drive... Special thanks to Paul the guy who works there for filling us in with a lot of the history surrounding the place. Believe me when you get to the top and go outside onto the turrets you'll be glad you made the journey the views are spectacular.. Just wish the weather had been a bit kinder the day we went. Don't buy your ticket online just turn up.. They'll always let you in we were told?

Lovely place, but a bit of a hike to get there. There's only a path in the grass to get to the tower. And you must ascend steep spiral staircases. A lot of fun exploring the different levels and the fairy and superstition folklore. We spend about an hour and it is included in Historical Scotland past, but must reserve ahead of time. The views at the top of the tower are breathtaking.

Amazing tower/castle defo worth the visit such amazing views from the top of it. Their is a charge to enter worth the cost in my opinion £7.50 but if you have a explorer pass it’s free entry it’s worth getting if your visiting many places in same week. Their is a small car park nearby well maintained but their is no access for disabled. Bring some good boots short walk on grass/muddy if raining and uphill :)
