Hermitage Castle is a formidable medieval stronghold located in the remote Liddesdale Valley in the Scottish Borders. Often dubbed the “guardhouse of the bloodiest valley in Britain,” it has a grim reputation for its violent past and associations with treachery, warfare, and dark legends. Built in the 14th century, the castle was a key defensive structure near the border between Scotland and England. It passed through the hands of powerful families such as the de Soulis, Douglases, and Hepburns.

It’s no surprise that a castle known as the “guardhouse of the bloodiest valley in Britain” has picked up some stories over the last 800 years.
