Popular places to visit

the House of Binns is a really interesting place due to the beauty of the stately home and the tale of General Tam Dalyell, who formed the legendary regiment of Royal Scots Greys. There are many mementos of him in the house, as well as colourful legends about his dealings with the Devil to discover. The legend describes Tam's games of cards with the Devil, although the devil normally beat Tam, one night Tam won, he had placed a mirror behind satan so that he could read his hand and in fury the Devil threw a marble table at him. However, it missed and it landed in the Sergeants' Pond outside. A marble table was indeed found when the pond dried up 200 years later. The cards, goblet and spoon, supposedly used in the game are displayed in the house. The General is said to have told the Devil, who threatened to blow down his house and its walls, that "I will build me a turret at every corner to pin down my walls"
