Located on a bend of the River Tweed, 1 mile (1½ km) west of Peebles in the Scottish Borders, Neidpath Castle dates from 1370 when it was built by the Hay family and remained in their ownership for over 300 years. In 1686 it passed to William Douglas (1637-95), 1st Duke of Queensberry and after a time it became neglected. In 1810 it was acquired by the Earl of Wemyss whose descendants still occupy it.

The Eastgate Theatre hosts a varied and diverse programme including music, drama, dance, comedy and literature events. We also have an exhibition space.

The Estate dates back as far as 1296 and today Kailzie Gardens are open 7 days a week throughout the year. The Gardens provide a rich variety of colour and charm for both the keen gardener, and for the visitor simply wanting to enjoy a beautiful garden in peaceful surroundings.
