Lammerside Castle

Lammerside Castle was built in the 14^th century. Its history is not known, but it apparently was not occupied after the beginning of the 15^th century. The main parts of the now ruined two-story castle were two towers, a hall, and a keep. The upper level contained two small rooms and a large chamber with a fireplace and a number of windows. Two vaulted cellars were joined by a central passage.

Lammerside Castle is located near Outhgill (B6249).
Lammerside is down a path between Pendragon Castle and Wharton Hall.
