The earliest parts of the castle date from the C13 and was attributed (some say) to William the Lion who built it in 1211. It was subsequently the site of an open air court held by Robert the Bruce, and then after the Battle of Otterburn in 1390, it came into the possession of five successive families - Preston, Meldrum, Seton, Gordon and Leith, each of whom added a new tower to the castle.
