Dance Information:
Neidpath Castle overlooks the River Tweed about a mile west of Peebles in the Borders of Scotland. An early castle was probably founded there by Sir Gilbert Fraser in about 1190. His grandson, Sir Simon the Second was executed alongside Sir William Wallace in 1307, after which the barony of Neidpath passed to the Hay family. Sir William de Haya, Sheriff of Peebles, built the present castle in the late 14th century. It was visited by Mary, Queen of Scots in 1563, and by her son James VI in 1587. During Oliver Cromwell's invasion of Scotland in 1650, Neidpath was attacked, and the damage to the 13th-century tower was never fully repaired. Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Campbell both wrote verse about the sorrowful "Maid of Neidpath“, believed to be Lady Jean Douglas haunting the castle. William Wordsworth also wrote a sonnet about The Fourth Duke, William Douglas's treatment of the castle. Today, it is owned by the Earl of Wemyss, and some of the scenes in films The Bruce, Merlin and Joan of Arc were shot there.
