Norham Castle
Norham Castle was founded by Bishop Ranulph Flambard of Durham as the administrative centre for his most northern territory. Built in 1121 at a strategic crossing point on the River Tweed, it was soon captured by the Scots in 1136, and although returned to the bishop shortly after, it was again besieged and largely destroyed by the Scots two years later.
