Wark Castle: The Landscape

The landscape of Wark on Tweed is dominated by a long, sinuous mound which runs roughly east-west. This feature, known as a kaim, was formed by the deposition of glacial material during the last ice age.

The height of the mound provided a defensive feature that was utilised by the builders of Wark Castle. The castle occupies the top of this ridge-like mound, at the point where it lies closest to the river.
