"Cessford Castle is an exceptionally massive, ruinous L-plan castle, rising to three storeys in the main block and four in the wing. It incorporates work from the 15th century and probably earlier, and there are some remains of a large courtyard wall, as well as apparently another wall and ditch beyond this. The walls are as much as 12 foot thick in places." (from thecastlesofscotland.co.uk)
Cessford really is an impressive structure that you can imagine holding up well during battles with other clans/Reivers and the English!
This is situated in the middle of a working farms field so please keep dogs on lead and close gates!
