What is recorded here

Elibank Castle is a ruined late 16th-century fortified house south of the River Tweed near Walkerburn. Gideon Murray built it around 1595 and later created Italianate garden terraces on three sides, ranking among Scotland’s grandest. The house became ruinous by 1722, leaving behind a forgotten border estate where stone walls and garden steps still mark the shape of a vanished household.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Elibank Castle as Farmstead (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Elibank Castle was built by the Elibank family in the 16th century and later held by the Baillies of Jerviswood. It is remembered as a historic Scottish tower house and is associated with the Jacobite uprisings.
