Ferniehirst Castle
Ferniehirst Castle, Scotland's Frontier Fortress, stands high above the Jed Water, a mile and a half south of Jedburgh.
The Kerr family have owned the site since 1457 and the original castle, a peel tower built here in 1470, was destroyed in the course of many bloody battles. Hidden behind trees and the lie of the land, Ferniehirst commands the perfect setting from which to hold the gate for Scotland.
​
​
Today's Ferniehirst is based on a late 16th Century building, carefully restored by local craftsmen using traditional materials.
New to 2021, the Castle is now available to rent as holiday accommodation! With 9 beautifully decorated bedrooms, ample living spaces and spectacular grounds, you won't want to look elsewhere to stay.
It is also open to the public each July to coincide with the local Jethart Festival.

Weddings
Ferniehirst Castle is delighted to offer its beautifully equipped Great Hall for wedding ceremonies. It proudly offers a newly refurbished double en-suite room in the downstairs Bothy for the Bride and Groom.
​
We would, however, ask that you hire a marquee for your day and night guests. If you need, we can put you in touch with a reputable marquee company.
