Old Photograph Sparrow Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Sparrow Castle at the South end of Cockburnspath near Cove, Scotland. Cove is a village in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, close to Cockburnspath, Dunglass, Innerwick, Oldhamstocks, Bilsdean, and, further afield, Dunbar and Eyemouth. The old manor house known locally as Sparrow Castle consists in reality of two old houses, one partially abutting on the end of the other and at right angles to it. The windows of the southernmost house are surrounded with a bead-and-hollow moulding, and three large corbels project on the W face of the wall-head. The N house is entered at first floor level by an outside stair. It has a vaulted basement.
