Nunraw
Nunraw is an estate in East Lothian, Scotland. It includes the White Castle, a hillfort, situated on the edge of the Lammermuir Hills, two miles south of the village of Garvald, (55°54′32″N 2°37′14″W / 55.909°N 2.6206°W / 55.909; -2.6206, grid reference NT613686, OS Landranger No.67.) Nunraw House is now a Cistercian abbey. Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms, writing in 1905 stated that Whitecastle and Nunraw are the same place and that the lairds there were often referred to by one or the other of these territorial designations.
White Castle
It is likely that the White Castle was first settled by the ancestors of the Votadini tribe, whose main eastern capital was Dunpender, due north. The fort is ideally placed to strategically control the northern end of one of the main passes through the Lammermuirs, along the Whiteadder Water. With the further fortifications three miles further east at Blackcastle and Greencastle it would have been ideally placed for a beacon to alert the tribe in case of an invasion from the south.

Noone Here
by: Happy RhodesI feel warm and whole
But there's noone here
Yes, and mine's a heavy soul
But there's noone here
my is
Look rising
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it's rising over there
But there's noone here
There's noone here
I'm without a body
To keep me warm
And not even a kitty
To share my storm
Well I know what I need
But there's noone here
And I know just where I bleed
But there's noone here `
my is
Look rising

And it's rising over there
But there's noone here
There's noone here
And I'm without a body
To keep me warm
And not even a kitty
To share my storm
Well I want a warm brain
But there's noone here
'Cause mine's under a strain
And there's noone here
my is
