HERMITAGE CASTLE GAUNTLY GUARDS ITS GRIM HISTORY  

hermitage Castle, situated on the Hermitage Water, are in  

es Roxburghshire, Scotland, where Dandie Dinmont, in Scott’s  

uuy Mannering, was farmer. The origin of the name Hermitage is reputed  

be due to the fact that cell was established here by hermit and the  

remains of his chapel are still visible today. The site of the castle was  

exceedingly strong, being defended on one side by the river and, on the other  

tnree, by deep morass which could be flooded in time of need. Above  

tne mam entrance, holes were provided for pouring down stones and other  

storm IVe wea ons P° an enemy who might attempt to take the castle by  

Although the fortress was founded by Walter Comyn, the surrounding  

belonged to the powerful barons of Soulis who later captured and  

neid the castle until they fell into disfavour, whereupon the castle passed into  

rne possession of Sir John Grahame, Lord of Abercorn. The heiress of this  

Dar °n conveyed the castle and estates to her husband, William Douglas, known  

as the Black Knight of Liddesdale, and who rose to high distinction during the  

reign of David 11 of Scotland, and the castle became his principal stronghold,  

the fortress was captured by the English but was later re-taken by Douglas.  

In later years, Hermitage Castle was the scene of brutal murder when  

Sir Alexander Ramsay of Dalhousie was seized at Hawick by Douglas and  

carried off to remote Hermitage where he was thrown into dungeon with his  

horse and left to die. The unfortunate prisoner prolonged his existence for  

period by eating the few grains of corn which fell from granary above  

the vault in which he was confined. In the eighteenth century, when excavations  

were being carried out, this dungeon was uncovered and revealed human  

skeleton, quantity of chaff and the bones of horse with an ancient .bridle  

which would seem to verify the truth of this dark deed; one of many which  

took place at Hermitage Castle. Little wonder, therefore, that the castle ruins  

have the reputation of being haunted by the spirits of those who suffered within  

its walls.  

Hermitage Castle came into the possession of James, Earl of Both-  

ell, who was visited there by Mary Queen of Scots, and it is recorded  

that her carriage on one occasion became stuck fast in the morass beneath  

the walls of the stronghold, and thereafter that particular spot was called  

the “Queen’s Mire.”
