Etal Castle

In the pretty village of Etal lies the ruins of a small 14th-century castle in what was once a strategic border location. It fell to James IV’s invading Scottish army and was partially destroyed shortly before his defeat at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. A military presence was maintained here until the Union of the Crowns in 1603 when James VI of Scotland acceded to the English throne. Etal Castle is managed by English Heritage.
