Neidpath Castle is found a mile west of Peebles. The building is thought to date from the fourteenth century with more recent alterations. It was occupied by various important Scottish families including the Earls of March. Sir Walter Scott wrote a poem called 'The Maid of Neidpath'. The poem tells the story of a daughter of one of the Earls of March who was dying of consumption and broken hearted when her lover did not recognise her.
