Venlaw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venlaw Castle, also known as Smithfield Castle, is baronial mansion with extensive grounds rebuilt in around 1782. It lies north of Peebles on the Edinburgh Road in the Borders of Scotland.
The site was originally a 14th century fortification, founded by the Hay family. The medieval fortress was destroyed in the 18th and 19th centuries and reconstructed as a house. Neidpath Castle is two miles to the south-west and Horsburgh Tower is two miles south-east. It is now a hotel.
