Description:
Depicts the River Tweed with Norham Castle, Northumberland, in the background. Sir Walter Scott's Marmion (1808) begins with the arrival of Lord Marmion at Norham Castle: 'Day set on Norham's castled steep, | And Tweed's fair river, broad and deep, | And Cheviot's mountains lone: | The battled towers, the donjon keep, | The loophole grates, where captives weep, | The flanking walls that round it sweep, | In yellow lustre shone' (canto I, stanza I, lines 1-7) . Lord Marmion spends the night at Norham then proceeds on a mission to the Scottish Court.
