Governance

Coupland is in the parliamentary constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Coupland was formerly a township in the parish of Kirknewton,^[2] from 1866 Coupland was a civil parish in its own right until it was abolished on 1 April 1955 and merged with Ewart and Kirknewton.^[3]

Landmarks

Coupland Castle is situated in the village and is a Grade I listed building.^[4] It is a tower house rather than a castle, and was probably built at the end of the 16th century. The tower has three storeys with an attic on top and a small projecting tower carried up the south wall.^[4]

A date stone over a fireplace in the tower engraved GW 1615 MW is thought to represent George and Mary Wallis, owners at that date.^[5] The building has been added to over the years and was restored in the 19th century, and in 1820 was extended when a three-bayed two-storied house was built adjoining the tower.^[5]^[6]

In 2020 the castle was put up for sale.
