<p>Now here's a beautiful scene!  I's the view looking up the River Tweed towards Caddonfoot, which is hidden in the trees round the bend.  The impressive mansion is Fairnilee House.  Built in the Scottish Baronial style, it could reasonably be assumed to be centuries old, but was in fact only built in 1904.  The tower this side of the mansion, is what I am here to look at.</p>

<p>Monteviot Mpntevieot House was built by the Marquis of Lothian on a hillside above the River Teviot near Jedburgh on the Scottish Borders. It was originally a small fishing lodge but was expanded by later generations. This resulted in a number of different styles of building comprising the present property owned by Lord Lothian. The extensive gardens were constructed using the shape of the hillside and an area of flat land at the top of the hillside. They include a Rose Garden, extensive lawns, some perennial borders, Water, and River Garden Gardens with a riverside walk. There are views across the countryside. The property is known for its deer one of which is represented by a statue by the Water Gardens. .</p>

<p>Smailholm Tower was built in the 15th or early 16th century by the Pringle family who were followers of the Earl of Douglas. Scottish peel towers were designed to protect their occupants from sporadic English raids. Smailholm was attacked by the English in 1543, 1544 and 1546, when the garrison of Wark Castle sacked the tower and carried off prisoners and cattle. The castle was then successfully defended against the English in 1640. It fell into disuse and decay in the 18th century before being restored in the 1980s.</p>
