Blanerne Castle

The house and castle sit on the north bank of the Whiteadder Water, around 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north-east of Duns.

The remains include a keep or kitchen block, with a detached guard house to the west.

[2] A popular Berwickshire rhyme refers to the medieval strengths of Blanerne and the nearby fortresses of Billie Castle, and Bonkyll Castle referring to their construction in the time of David I and their destruction following the Rough wooing: Bunkle, Billie and Blanerne Three castles strong as airn Built when Davie was a Bairn Theyll all gang doon, Wi Scotland's Croon An ilka ane shall be a cairn Blanerne House was constructed in the 18th century.

Around 1830, plans for the house were prepared by the architect William Burn, although these may not have been carried out.

It is currently operated as a guest house, offering access to fishing and game shooting.
