About this listen

This fortress was constructed in the 1450s by the Kerrs of Cessford. Notorious and influential Border Reivers, the castle was their main stronghold in a network of fortified houses. Today, Cessford Castle is silent — a broken giant of red stone. But in the 15th and 16th centuries, these walls were alive with politics, treachery… and war.
