What is recorded here

Wedderburn Castle is an 18th-century country house in the Scottish Borders, built between 1770 and 1775 by Robert Adam and James Adam for Patrick Home of Billie. Its symmetrical facade hides a rectangular courtyard where a 15th-century tower house once stood, now reduced to a single heraldic panel after early 19th-century demolition. The Lion Gate of 1794 leads along a long drive past 18th-century stables to the main entrance, where a double staircase rises beside a Carrara marble chimneypiece. Today the former stables host weddings and events, while the castle remains the historic seat of the Home of Wedderburn family.
