Greenlaw

Greenlaw was the county town of Berwickshire from 1696 to 1853, when Duns replaced it. It formerly stood near the “green law”, or hill, a little to the southwest, and was given its burgh charter in 1596. The picturesque Market Cross dates from 1696, and there are many fine buildings within the town, including a town hall built in 1829.

Three miles south are the impressive ruins of Hume Castle, ancient seat of the Hume family and a rare example of a simple courtyard castle of the 13th century. The ruined curtain walls form the basis of a folly built in 1794 for the last Earl of Marchmont. It stands 600 feet above sea level, and provides an excellent viewpoint.
