Berwick Barracks, among the first in England to be purpose-built, were begun in 1717
to the design of the distinguished architect Nicholas Hawksmoor.
Today, the Barracks hosts a number of
attractions, including 'By Beat of Drum' - an exhibition on the life of the British infantryman. While
there, visit the King's Own Scottish Borderers Museum, the Contemporary Art Gallery and the Berwick
Borough Museum.
The Main Guard is a Georgian
guardhouse near the quay, which displays 'The Story of a Border Garrison
Town' exhibition.
