Just to say the key is no longer available but visitors are more than welcome to walk up and view the castle from the outside and enjoy the spectacular views

This lovely little castle/Pele tower is perched on top of Minto Crags, with beautiful commanding views across the Teviot Valley. It is reached by a relatively steep path, weaving through woodland, so good walking boots are needed. It is a quite a pull-up but it is 150% worth it as the views are stunning when you reach the top.
The castle itself is a fascinating little place, saved from a worrying situation in 2012 when it was given a new roof and major renovation work done to the parapet, both which had collapsed due to years of neglect. There is a plaque about the history and you can look inside the castle, up the spiral staircase and you can look out from the parapet. The key for the castle is obtained from Oliver's Garage in Denholm (£10 deposit, £5 is kept for the castle upkeep and £5 is returned to you) but due to continuing Covid restrictions, the castle is currently closed so we were not able to visit it. Another time definitely! It is a gorgeous walk and one we can highly recommend.

Absolutely breathtaking views from the hill that Fatlips castle sits on. A steady climb on quite good forest pathways. A perfect place for a picnic if you take your rubbish away.

Great little walk up to the castle and back.
Locked down due to Covid restrictions but worth it for the views on a drizzly, but thankfully clear enough day.

Did not climb up it just saw it from the road. It looks fantabulous and it’s in a fabulous location.

A steep climb but a fantastic view. Worth getting the key from Thos Oliver’s garage in Denholm. The castle itself might be more for those with a personal connection (especially Clan Turnbull) but the view is really worth the effort.

Wow, the walk is very arduous and uphill through dense woodland - it took about 50mins in thick mud! However, the castle is worth it. You cannot just turn up - you have to pay to get a key

WOW! First, realize that you need to collect the key to this castle at the local garage in Denholm and leave a deposit. You have to promise to lock up the castle again and return the key.
The climb is not too difficult unless it's rained heavily the night before; then, it will be slippery on the beginning parts of the trail. My family wanted to climb to Fatlips Castle because we were tracking the history of the Turnbull Clan, and this is "their" castle.
The views of the Border region are spectacular! if you are hungry afterwards, head to Hawick for lunch and see also the TURNING OF THE BULL MONUMENT. This memorializes when William Rule saved King Robert the Bruce from death by turning the bull away from him. The King then named him "TURN-A-BULL" or TURNBULL.

We collected the key from the local garage in Denholm, paid our £5.00 and walked a couple of miles down quiet country roads until we arrived at the front door. It was kind of magical letting yourself in to a wonderfully restored castle in the middle of what seemed, nowhere. The views from the upper balconies were amazing. Go and do it you will not be disappointed.

Had some spare time on recent golf trip so took a look at Fatlips, defo worth a visit if in the area oh and its FREE unless you want to see inside and a key can be purchased in Denholm. Now I am quite fit and a postie and I was out of breath when I reached the top! 15 minutes at a steady pace which is what it took me, others could break half way or just take there time and probably do it in 25 mins. Fantastic views and so quiet. I was only one there for an hour or so, can imagine a brill sunrise or sunset there but would not go alone though those woods lol I will return when in the area again for more photos and to see inside next time.

Hi, how do get on the path to Fatlips Castle?
We are hoping to visit this week.
Thanks,
Jane.

The two peaks together are North and Middle Eildon near Melrose. On other images there is a single sharper peak, that is Ruberslaw nearer to Hawick

Thanks for your review. We live nearby and are thinking of taking our grandchildren aged 6, 4 and 2. Is it suitable for them? They are good walkers. Thanks
