What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Norham Castle as Castle (medieval). 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.
Norham Castle was built in the late 12th or early 13th century by the de Vesci family, who were powerful Anglo-Norman lords in northern England. It is important as a key medieval stronghold on the Anglo-Scottish border, reflecting the strategic and military tensions of the region during the Middle Ages.
