Background
History
Originally a property of the Homes of Wedderburn, Hutton was probably built in the 16th century, but may include much older fabric. It was the seat of the Johnstons of Hilton from c.1620 until the early 19th century. From 1876 the castle was owned by Dudley Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth. It was partially ruinous in the late 19th century. In July 1588, the English diplomat Robert Bowes organised a meeting at Hutton Hall to deliver £2000 in gold to Sir John Carmichael as a subsidy paid to James VI of Scotland.
