Castleton, Scottish Borders

It is bounded by Northumberland (England), Dumfries and Galloway, and the parishes of Hobkirk, Southdean and Teviothead.

[1] It was built as a result of the land clearances in the 1790s when people were forced to move from Old Castleton village.

It was built in 1244 by Nicholas de Soulis, and was captured by the English in David II's reign.

It was retaken by Sir William Douglas, who received a grant of it from the king.

[1] The parish consists of that part of Roxburghshire south of the Teviotdale watershed, whose rivers and watercourses drain into the Solway Firth to the west.
