Oliver Castle

Oliver Castle was a medieval tower house, located in upper Tweedsdale in the Scottish Borders.

[1] After switching sides more than once Sir Simon was eventually captured by the forces of King Edward I of England and sent to London where he was hanged, drawn and quartered in September 1306.

His son, Malcolm 3rd Lord Fleming, pledged Oliver Castle to Robert Dickson for one hundred pounds and eventually parted with the estate.

[7] The present Oliver House is located on lower ground, around 200 metres (660 ft) to the south-west of the hillfort, and remains occupied.

It incorporates a heraldic panel that was brought from the earlier house, which stands some 50 metres (160 ft) to the north-west.
