About this listen
Explore the dark and dramatic history of Newark Tower, also known as Newark Castle, in the Scottish Borders, a ruined stronghold overlooking the Yarrow Water near Selkirk. In this episode of Hidden Histories of the Scottish Borders, discover how this 15th-century tower-house survived sieges during the Rough Wooing, only to be burned and later rebuilt—before becoming the site of a notorious massacre following the Battle of Philiphaugh in 1645.
Uncover the stories of war, destruction, and legend surrounding Newark Tower, including its role in the turbulent Border conflicts, and the chilling tales of hauntings said to echo through its ruins. Perfect for anyone interested in Scottish history, castles, Border conflicts, and historic sites to visit in the Scottish Borders.
