Architecture Notes

NMRS REFERENCE:

Architect: Robert Adam 1767/71. Clerk of Works, James Nisbet

(NT 80838 52854) Wedderburn Castle: A large, three storeyed battlemented mansion, built about 1770-5. A heraldic panel, built into the SE wall of the courtyard at first storey level, has been inserted from an earlier, 17th century house on the site.

SDD undated; RCAHMS 1915.

N.M.R.S. Scottish Record Office, GD/267/22/7 References to chimneypieces - typescript

and building (1771) 1774-5

Activities

Field Visit (21 October 1908)

RCAHMS County Inventory: Berwickshire

122. Heraldic Panel, Wedderburn Castle.

Built into the south-east wall of the courtyard of Wedderburn Castle, at the level of the first storey, is a panel bearing arms: A lion rampant. Above, on a helmet, a stag's head for crest. Underneath there is inscribed on a scroll - GEO. HUM. DNO DE WEDDERBRUN ME FCAT FIERE. The blunders in the inscription are probably due to re-cutting.

See Ber. Nat. Club, 1876-78, p. 206; Nisbet's Heraldry, i. p. 272.

RCAHMS 1915, visited 21st October 1908.
