== Description ==
The remains of Nether Horsburgh Castle consist of a ruined, 16th-century rectangular tower-house, at the foot of a rolling valley overlooking the River Tweed, with the Hope Burn flowing just a few meters to the east. Originally, the tower had an adjoining courtyard and ranges of buildings, traces of which can still be seen to the north of the tower.
Only three walls still survive, reaching a height of about , with the east wall being completely ruined to ground level. The existing structure appears to have measured about by , with walls of about thick. It is thought that the tower rose to a height of four stories, with an entrance situated at ground level on the northeast side of the building. This led into a vaulted cellar, studded with slit window apertures. Evidence suggests that access to the upper floors was gained by a staircase situated in the east wall.
A small courtyard was formed by a range of buildings continuing to the east for about , then north for about . All that remains of this is a small fragment of the northern segment, which now forms a part of the field boundary in which the castle stands.
