More about this scene
Guarding the road from the south, the Hotspur Gate was built in 1450; a licence to fortify the Border town of Alnwick had been granted in 1434. Above the entrance there is a much-decayed lion rampant, emblem of the Percy family, and above that are corbels that once carried a machicolation to enhance the defensive capability of the flanking projections.
