lO Davis's video: Haunting History of :Neidpath Castle

https://www.facebook.com/historyhaunted/ Neidpath Castle,River Tweed, Borders of Scotland,U.K Neidpath Castle is situated upon elevated land overlooking a winding of the Tweed about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Peebles . It was built upon the L plan, probably in the fourteenth century, being a main central tower of the Keep type with a square projection of considerable size attached to one side. The walls are 11 feet in thickness and the original door was on the basement floor facing the river, a departure from the general rule. A spiral stair gave access to the upper storeys. The Tower was originally of enormous strength, being really two immense vaults superposed upon each other, but other, wooden, floors have been inserted between. The parapet and corners are rounded similar to those at Drum Castle. It was greatly altered and added to in the seventeenth century. No particular history attaches to the building, which belonged to the Hays of Yester for centuries; it has only undergone one siege, that by Cromwell, when it surrendered after a short defence. The castle is closed to the public. Music by~ Kevin MacLeod ~ Dark Times Photos from Google map unless stated
