Today the fragmented medieval ruin of Berwick castle beside the Victorian train station and Royal border bridge is a shell of it's former glory, originally a great Scottish fortress fought over by the Scots and the English for centuries. If it's stones could talk what tales they could tell invasions, massacres, wars, hostage taking and the like. In 1296 King Edward I of England, the "Hammer of the Scots" invaded Scotland besieging Berwick castle and it's town "walls" (actually a wooden palisade). Edward and his army entered the town by surprise spending three days ruthlessly killing almost the entire civilian population. While the castle's garrison led by William "the hardy" Douglas could do nothing in their defence. Sadly this slaughter of innocent civilians is not confined to the pages of the past but has been repeated again and again throughout history. Even in the recent Balkans conflict some 700 years after the Berwick massacre. Edward eventually ended the carnage on seeing a pregnant woman giving birth being hacked to death by his men.

In 1314 King Robert the Bruce defeated King Edward II at the battle of Bannockburn near Stirling castle. Edward fled down the coast passed Edinburgh and on towards Dunbar pursued by James the 'Black' Douglas. The English garrison at North Berwick, on hearing of their King's flight and the approach of the 'Black ' Douglas, deserted their posts; "they gave up this castle and retired to the castle of Dunbar ", as Lord Dunbar was still in league with the English and ships could safely dock here to evacuate Edward and his men to 'South Berwick' (Berwick on Tweed), which was still in English hands since the massacre of the entire Scots population in 1296. Because Dunbar was too strong for Douglas to besiege, he probably slighted North Berwick, as like the Bruce he had a policy of destroying castles in the Lowlands to prevent them from being used by the English as stepping stones for re-invasion. Tantallon , which may explain the sudden disappearance of 'Castle Hill'. The background to this conflict is complex.

Who was He? Warrior and Scottish Nationalist. Date and Place of Birth: 1270, Elderslie, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Family Background: Second son of Malcolm (or Alan) Wallace, Laird of Elderslie and Auchinbothie, a small landowner. His mother was the daughter of Sir Hugh Crawford, Sheriff of Ayr. Education: From members of his family. Chronology: Wallace was born in a medieval fortification, the foundations of which now lie below the monument to him in Elderslie. Little of his youth is known but a wandering minstrel called "Blind Harry" told many tales of the deeds of Wallace in the 15th Century. How reliable these are is anyone's guess but it is likely that there was a good deal of romantic embroidery involved in the stories. Harry claims that Wallace was already a powerful individual by his late teenage years and had killed many Englishmen who had crossed him. The Scottish nobles asked for the help of Kind Edward the First of England (Longshanks) to help solve the dispute as to who should be King of Scotland. Edward appointed commissioners and after due consideration John Balliol was decreed to be the right choice.

Around 100,000 sea birds nest on these islands with the largest colony on the Bass Rock, which has 80,000 occupied nest sites. The Bass Rock is the closest sea bird sanctuary to the mainland and was the first to be studied by ornithologists during the 19th century, when they gave the Gannet the scientific name Sula Bassana, incorporating the name of this rocky stack. This colony is the largest on the east coast of Britain and holds approximately 10% of the world population of North Atlantic Gannets. The History of the Island THE BASS ROCK is situated in the Firth of Forth,two miles east of North Berwick and one mile off the mainland. (Position on a Nautical Chart - 56` 4.6' N. 2` 38.3' W.) A huge trachyte plug rising 313 feet, with three sides of sheer cliff, and a tunnel piercing the rock to a depth of 105 metres. The gentler slope to the south forms a lower promontory where the ruins of a castle stand dating back to at least 1405. Where James the second son of Robert III, later to become James I was sent by his father until a vessel was found to transport him to France as the king's brother the Duke of Albany had designs on the throne.

Barnardos Website Glasclune House - North Berwick Dr. Barnardo's Childrens' Home History of Glasclune The origin of the name Glasclune is unknown, but John ' Blair ' Balfour must have been inspired to name his property after Glasclune Castle situated 4 miles north west of Blairgowrie in Perthshire. Built in the 13th century by the De Herring family, the castle and lands were purchased from the crown by George Blair of Pittendreich, whose son James was the first of Glasclune. In 1912, a grand two day bazaar and exhibition in connection with Dr. Barnardo's Homes for boys was held in the grounds of Glasclune House at North Berwick, kindly granted for the occasion by Dowager Lady Kinross. Within the house Dr. Barnardo's Musical Boys gave an excellent and varied performance with handbell. mandolin, ocarina, dulcimer, fairy bell and other selections, including a musical march by the pipers in Highland dress. Later three flying machines from an Aerial Circus performed over the house and town. During WW2 Glasclune came under the control of the military authority until the invasion of Europe in 1944. That year Barnardo's purchased the property to the east of Glasclune known as Redholm, which was opened as a boys home in September 1944 and they also purchased Glasclune, opening it as a girls home in October of the same year. Redholm closed in 1948 and Glasclune eventually became a home for both boys and girls in 1953. It remained as such until 1975 when it reverted to a home for emotionally difficult children, under the supervision of its last superintending couple, Dorothy and Eric Falconer.
