Guys, I've just returned from a great weekend in this castle and thought that it might interest you all as a future venue at some point, especially as the Airlie is still boarded up. We can have a chat about this at the weekend. Although most of the current building dates to the 18th century there are still remains of the 14th century castle remaining. Flodden is only about 3 or 4 miles away and the castle has some interesting artifacts from the battle.
