“The Elliots were one of the most active, most powerful and most notorious of the Scottish Border clans,” the clan’s website says. Hermitage Castle, near Liddesdale, is located in a lonely spot and said to be one of the most sinister-looking castles ever built. The castle has inspired local legends of the wicked Lord Soulis, a magician who sold his soul to the devil, and of a giant with impregnable armour. The ruins are open to the public at varying times from April through November. Photo by nicksarebi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ Photo modified for contrast, size, shape and text
