<p>This was Sir Walter Scott's favourite view over to The Eildon Hills. In Roman times, the hills were called Trimontium (three hills), and there is a Trimontium museum in Melrose showcasing Roman remains found in the area.</p>

<p>Greenknowe Tower, (Historic Scotland), Gordon, Scottish Borders, Scotland. The lands of Greenknowe were obtained by the Setons of Touch in the early 15th century, when Alexander Seton married a Gordon heiress. The tower was built in 1581 by James Seton, and the date, his initials, and the initials of his wife Janet Edmonstone, are inscribed above the door. The castle is situated on a low natural mound, which was originally surrounded and defended by marshy ground.<br />
<br />
In the 17th century, the tower was sold to the Pringles of Stichill, who made additions to the building, and enlarged the windows to suit the less dangerous times. The castle was occupied until the mid 19th century, and passed into state care in 1937 following restoration works.</p>

<p>Greenknowe Tower, (Historic Scotland), Gordon, Scottish Borders, Scotland. The walls are of rubble construction, using local basalt with red sandstone for detailing, and finish at crowstep gables. Bartizans, or angle-turrets, are found at the north-west and south-east corners of the main block, and the south-east corner of the wing. The smaller wing bartizan also had machicolations.</p>
