Hermitage Chapel

Hermitage Chapel
©2011 Gazetteer for Scotland

Lying next to the Hermitage Water, 5 miles (8 km) north of Newcastleton, little remains of this 13th C. chapel. Its foundations have been excavated, along with some window arches. This was most likely a private chapel associated with Hermitage Castle and an old wooden manor house which has subsequently been lost. The surrounding banks and ditches are part of the castle's defences.
