    I lived in Norham and used to play in the castle as a kid, there was always stories about the grey lady and we used to scare ourselves 😂.
    Excellent video and knowledge 😊

    If "The Grey Lady" got locked in the castle, I'd bet her lover's fate was much, much worse.

    Where are the walls 7 meters thick? People always say keeps had like 5-7 meters thick walls. And where are they? In the basement?

      My next video I will include floor plan with walls and mark where walls are this thick, normally its around a large deep window on the ground floor. Most of the wall for keeps are about 3m though. With Norham it is ground floor on south side of keep facing away from the river. I made a 3d model from scale floorplans and they were around 7m thick for Norham at its thickest part.

    The Scots captured it at least 4 times mate

      @@OldSkoolWax yes correct it was successfully captured fully 4 times, and a few more occasions the out bailey was captured. I have detailed every single one of these In the video?. Sorry about the confusion of the title, what I mean by couldn't conquer is that they never held onto the castle. For me the historic intrigue was the constant and ongoing sieges from Scotland over the course of centuries from the 12th to 16th century.
