The castles

Drumelzier Castle was the ancient seat of the Tweedie family, first chartered to Roger de Twydyn about 1320. It was abandoned and as a ruin became a convenient quarry for building stone for the farm its ruins now stand in.

The murder of John Fleming, 2nd Lord Fleming

In 1524, John Fleming, 2nd Lord Fleming, was attacked and killed by a party of men led by John Tweedie of Drumelzier. The feud between the Tweedies and the Flemings had its roots in a desire to secure the marriage of Catherine Frizzel, heiress of Freud in Tweedsmuir, to his eldest son, James.
