Twizel (or Twizell) Castle is close to the Scotland/England border not far from Cornhill on Tweed. The structure incorporates part of a medievel tower but is mainly a castle that was commenced in the late 18th century that was to be built as a gothic revival mansion. However, the project was never completed and much of it was demolished around 150 years ago and the stone re-used elsewhere. However, the ruins are still quite impressive and easily accessible although there is a low fence around it and warning signs as the building is a poor state of repair despite its listed status. However, I went for a look recently and here is some of what I saw.
