  Roxburgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, the Royal Burgh of Roxburgh (Gaelic: Rosbrog), in the Scottish Borders, was an important trading burgh in the economy of Scotland.
The town stood on a defensible peninsula between the rivers Tweed and Teviot, with Roxburgh Castle guarding the narrow neck of the peninsula.
Roxburgh was the county town of the former county of Roxburghshire.

 Reconstruction of Roxburgh Castle 1460
Roxburgh was then taken by storm and torn down to ground level.
This quickly brought the Governor to his senses and he agreed to surrender on condition Douglas escorted him to the Border unharmed as many of the locals in the Kelso area had reasons to kill the Governor because of his treatment of the civilian population.
In the 1416 report on Roxburgh, one of the towers was called the "Douglas Tower"- a fitting tribute to the 'Black' Douglas assault and the persistence of his kin who tried again and again until this thorn was shed from Scotland's flesh.

Born the youngest of six siblings in Albury, Australia, Roxburgh's interest in acting wasn't sparked until he became somewhat disillusioned with studying economics (his father was a successful accountant) at A.N.U. in Canberra.
Though Roxburgh's onscreen exposure, to this point, had been limited mostly to European audiences, all of that changed in the early 2000s.
Roxburgh's later role as legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes in 2002's The Hound of the Baskervilles courted controversy by depicting Holmes as a drug addict, and, in 2003, he suited up to fight crime once again in the comic book adaptation The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Maybe just a look at the local museum to absorb some of the diverse history, a visit to the local vineyard or a stroll around one of the nearby picturesque gardens would be enough to satisfy some of the more unhurried visitors to our lovely valley.

 Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002) - Starring Richard Roxburgh and Ian Hart
Blonde Australian actor Richard Roxburgh, sporting a vaguely awkward accent as Holmes, does a competent, if not terribly convincing, job with a script that is bereft of any of the quirkiness or deductive genius one hopes to see in a Holmes performance.
Instead he is portrayed as a relatively normal, but smug man-of-action type (he roughs up cabby John Clayton to get the info he needs) who resorts to cocaine to stimulate his thought processes rather than to relieve boredom between cases.
Like so many actors portraying Holmes before him, we know Roxburgh is Sherlock Holmes not because of his mannerisms or physical appearance, but rather because people call him Mister Holmes and he lives at 221b Baker Street with a fellow called Watson.
