town of Peebles much under its Patronage the Frasers arms are to be seen on

"Neidpath is said of old to have had the name of the castle of Peebles. It was a
Strong Stately pile built upon a rock on the left bank of the Tweed (which flows

and in a line with its chief street. Its walls measure eleven feet in thickness." -- Origines Parochiales Scotiae Vol [volume] 1 page 238.
