Liddesdale

Liddesdale is the valley of the Liddel Water in the historic County of Roxburgh in southern Scotland, running about 21 miles southwest from near Peel Fell to the River Esk. It borders Teviotdale to the east, Annandale to the west and Tweeddale to the north, with the English county of Cumberland across its southern boundary, and it was long a contested Anglo-Scottish frontier district overseen by an official called the Keeper of Liddesdale. The valley is best known for Hermitage Castle, an H-shaped fortress built in 1244 overlooking Hermitage Water, and for the fortified peel towers once held by border clans such as the Elliots and Armstrongs.
