Half of its history and virtually all of its construction was Scottish. So as well as being an "English castle" it should also be listed under Castles in the Scottish borders. There is an element of overlap required here. David Lauder 21:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I found a reference to Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford being appointed by Elizabeth I as "governor of Berwick" in 1564 (and indeed, it so states in his article here on Wikipedia). Is it safe to assume that this refers to Berwick Castle? The link in his article is to Berwick upon Tweed, not the Castle. The book where I found the reference is here, on p. 6 of Sketch of the History of the House of Russell, by David Ross. London: W.S. Orr & Co., 1848. Laura1822 17:52, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Berwick-upon-Tweed had a military governor for centuries. As long as the castle was garrisoned and used as a military base that would be his natural seat. David Lauder 18:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
