Cavers Castle
Cavers Castle was a castle that was located near Cavers, Scottish Borders, Scotland.[1] The castle was the caput baronium of the Lordship of Cavers. The lands and barony was granted to the Balliol family in the 12th century. In the 14th century Cavers was granted to the Douglas family, due to the Balliol's support of King Edward III of England and Edward Balliol, competitor for the Scottish crown during the Second War of Scottish Independence. The castle appears to have been incorporated into the former Cavers House.[2]
