Barb and Dave > The damage near the top of Borthwick Castle was caused by Oliver Cromwell's cannons.  The occupants realized that they had to surrender, because eventually the castle would be in ruins - like so many others that Cromwell leveled.

Barb and Dave > View from the roof of Borthwick Castle.  Sometimes, we were told, prisoners were given the chance to escape a death penalty if they could jump across this gap on the roof.  The gap was about 10 feet wide.  The prisoners' hands would be bound behind them, and they would have been starved for a few weeks beforehand.
