Blanerne Castle
Blanerne Castle is the remains of a 16th-century fortified house, located in the grounds of Blanerne House, an 18th-century country house between Chirnside and Preston in the Scottish Borders. The house and castle sit on the north bank of the Whiteadder Water, around north-east of Duns. The house is currently operated as a guest house, offering access to fishing and game shooting. Both the house and castle are category B listed buildings, and the castle is further protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
==Blanerne Castle==
The castle was the historical seat of the Lumsdaine family for over four centuries. The surviving remains are dated to the 16th century, although the site may have been occupied as far back as the 12th century. The remains include a keep or kitchen block, with a detached guard house to the west.〔
A popular Berwickshire rhyme refers to the medieval strengths of Blanerne and the nearby fortresses of Billie Castle, and Bonkyll Castle referring to their construction in the time of David I and their destruction following the Rough wooing:
''Bunkle, Billie and Blanerne
''Three castles strong as airn''
''Built when Davie was a Bairn''
''Theyll all gang doon,''
''Wi Scotland's Croon''
''An ilka ane shall be a cairn''
