Branxholme
Branxholme is a hamlet in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, overlooking the River Teviot, three miles southwest of Hawick, on the A7 road to Langholm. Nearby are Ale Water, Alemoor Loch, Burnfoot, Borthwick Water, Colterscleugh Monument, Roberton, Stobs Castle, Teviothead and Wilton ==Branxholme Castle==
The novelist Sir Walter Scott, a close friend and relative of the 4th Duke of Buccleuch, chose Branxholme as the setting for his book "Lay of the Last Minstrel". The castle had been the hereditary seat of the Scotts of Buccleuch since the 15th century, and it was the centre of power in Upper Teviotdale, on one of the main historic routes south towards England. The original tower house was burned in 1532 by the Earl of Northumberland, and it was blown up in 1570 by the Earl of Surrey.
