Old Photograph Duns Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Duns Castle by Duns in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. The oldest part of this Scottish castle, the massive Norman Keep or Pele Tower, dates from 1320. The earlier house was transformed into a Gothic castle, from 1818 to 1822, by architect James Gillespie Graham. It is owned by the Laird, Alexander Hay of Duns and Drumelzier, a retired accountant. He and his wife, Aline, live at the castle. Alexander Hay, killed at the Battle of Waterloo, reputedly haunts the castle.
