Roxburgh Castle

Roxburgh Castle is a ruined medieval fortress situated on a hill between the Rivers Teviot and Tweed in the Scottish Borders. The castle played a crucial role in the Anglo-Scottish border conflicts for over 450 years, witnessing numerous sieges and battles. It is notably the site where King James II of Scotland was killed in 1460. Today, visitors can explore the remaining ruins, enjoying stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including Floors Castle. Access requires a steep climb, and the site is largely overgrown, offering a sense of historical immersion but limited structural remains.
