It was captured in 1574, 1549, 1569 and lastly demolished in 1651 by Cromwell's artillery under Colonel Fenwick, despite the Governor's defiant statement: "I, Willie Wastle, stand firm in my castle; and a' the dogs o' your toun will no' pull Willie Wastle down". Presumably, his military judgement was as bad as his poetic one! The Earl of Marchmont built the current structure in 1794 as a folly on the line of the earlier work. A major mediaeval settlement on the south facing slope around and below the castle can also be glimpsed, however, this requires careful effort and imagination. Hume Castle will be open all day. There is an interpretative board on site and it is hoped that a local guide will be available on the day. 1794 Museum 865 Hume, Kelso 10059 No No No No No No No No No No No TD5 7TR
