What is recorded here

Hutton Castle overlooks the Whiteadder Water in the Scottish Borders, where medieval moats still frame a sixteenth-century house that once belonged to the Homes of Wedderburn. English soldiers attacked the hall during the Rough Wooing, and gold crossed the border there for James VI, proving the remote valley could hold dangerous wealth. Sir William Burrell later filled the rooms with art until his death, then gave the collection to Glasgow while leaving the castle empty. The building stood abandoned until the late 1990s, when people restored it as a home again.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hutton Castle as Armorial Panel (medieval), Castle (16th Century), Moated Site (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Hutton Castle was built in the 16th century and is associated with the Hutton family, a prominent Scottish landholding family. It is remembered as a historic defensive structure and an example of late medieval castle architecture in Scotland.
