Chipchase Castle is one of the best examples of Jacobean architecture in the borders. The 14thC pele tower is very well preserved and gives insight into living conditions during the turbulent times of the border raids. The gardens are filled with interest, a walled vegetable garden, wild garden with lake and ornamental wild fowl, fine mature trees, spring bulbs, rhododendrons, roses, shrubs and herbaceous borders. Adjoining nursery garden with plants for sale.
