Hermitage Castle, my watercolour from 1984. Alexander Ramsay of Dalhousie was starved to death in Castle dungeon by William Douglas because Alex had successfully taken Roxburgh Castle from English forces in 1342. (William had failed in his attempts to do this.) #HermitageCastle

The superbly preserved Craigmillar Castle, three miles south-east of the centre of Edinburgh. Mary, Queen of Scots came here in December 1566 when the "Craigmillar Bond", a plan to kill her second husband, Lord Darnley, was agreed. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/e…
ALT Craigmillar Castle. The image shows a grassy area in the foreground with a tall grey stone wall beyond it, with a circular tower at either end. The structure has battlements on top and there are gables and other parts of buildings projecting above the wall. Three people are standing on top of the right-hand tower. The scene is in sunlight.

French Commander André de Montalembert, seigneur d’Essé built cannon ramparts around ruined Jedburgh Abbey in 1548. French also raised trenches at Dunbar Castle, Luffness Castle ruins & St Marys Church in Haddington to help Scots fight the English 'Rough Wooing' invasions.
