hill ")  , a town of Berwickshire, Scot-land . Pop . (1901) 611 . It is situated on the Blackadder, 62; m . S.E. of Edinburgh by the North British railway company's branch line from Reston Junction to St Boswells . The town was built towards the end of the 17th century, to take the place of an older one, which stood about a mile to the S.E . It was the county town from 1696 to 1853, when for several years it shared this dignity with Duns, which, however, is now the sole capital . The chief manufactures are woollens and agricultural implements . About 3 M. to the S. the ruin of Hume Castle, founded in the 13th century, occupies a commanding site . Captured by the English in 1547, in spite of Lady Home's gallant defence, it was retaken two years afterwards, only to fall again in 1569 . After its surrender to Cromwell in 165o it gradually decayed . Towards the close of the 18th century the 3rd earl of Marchmont had the walls rebuilt out of the old stones, and the castle, though a mere shell of the original structure, is now a picturesque ruin .
