A bid to restore the crumbling building is delayed after a protected species is found in a pond.
A more detailed survey of the number of newts in the pond at Cavers Castle is being carried out
The presence of the protected species in a pond at Cavers Castle, near Hawick, has delayed a decision on a bid to bring it back into use.However, it deferred a decision to get a "handle on the full population" of newts in the pond.Parts of Cavers Castle, also known as Cavers House, are believed to date back to the 15th or 16th centuries.
When one of the last owners died in 1949, a buyer could not be found for the property so its contents were auctioned off and much of it demolished by explosives in 1953.Now the discovery of the newts has put the decision on hold again.
