<p>Coldingham Priory was a house of Benedictine monks. It lies on the south-east coast of Scotland, in the village of Coldingham, Berwickshire. Coldingham Priory was founded in the reign of David I of Scotland, although his older brother and predecessor King Edgar of Scotland had granted the land of Coldingham to the Church of Durham in 1098, and a church was constructed by him and presented in 1100. The first prior of Coldingham is on record by the year 1147, although it is likely that the foundation was much earlier. The earlier monastery at Coldingham was founded by St Æbbe sometime c. AD 640. Although the monastery was largely destroyed by Oliver Cromwell in 1650, some remains of the priory exist, the choir of which forms the present parish church of Coldingham and is serviced by the Church of Scotland.</p>

<p>Floors Castle, in Roxburghshire, south-east Scotland, is the seat of the Duke of Roxburghe. Despite its name it is an estate house rather than a fortress. It was built in the 1720s by the architect William Adam for John Ker, 1st Duke of Roxburghe, possibly incorporating an earlier tower house. In the 19th century it was embellished with turrets and battlements, designed by William Playfair, for The 6th Duke of Roxburghe. Floors has the common 18th-century layout of a main block with two symmetrical service wings. Floors Castle stands by the bank of the River Tweed and overlooks the Cheviot Hills to the south.<br />
<br />
Floors Castle is now a category A listed building, and the grounds are listed in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes, the national listing of significant gardens in Scotland. It is open to the public. <br />

<p>Even photographing from the shadow side can produce a reasonable shot. 170402 has just crossed Lugate Water as it approaches Stow Station with 2T75 (Tweedbank to Edinburgh). Lugate Water is a tributary to Gala Water, which it joins just behind the line of trees.</p>

<p>Stow is a passing place on the Borders Railway. 170426 is departing Stow station for Edinburgh with 2T79 (on time) and 170401 is approaching Stow station with 2T80 for Tweedbank (running 4 minutes late).</p>

<p>There are two or three possible reasons for the piles of stone around the base of the mound on which the tower stood. They may be rocks cleared from surrounding fields that have been dumped here over the last couple of centuries, but this being a hill farm not an arable farm, that would seem unlikely. They may also represent the stone rejected when the good stone was being recovered from the ruin for use elsewhere, and it may also be (and I would like to thinkit was) the remains of the bamkin wall that must once have surrounded and protected the tower.<br />
<br />
The footings of another building can be seen through the gateway, in the direction of the 3rd tree.</p>
