From the Wikipedia article
Bedrule Castle is a ruined 13th-century castle in the Rule Valley, in the Scottish Borders. The castle was built in the 13th century by the Comyn family. During the 1st Wars of Scottish Independence Edward I of England (Longshanks) stayed one night in "Rule" on the 30th of September 1298. This was after the Battle of Falkirk and the follow-up actions of the English army during August 1298 in Ayrshire and Dumfriesshire. He had spent September resting and resupplying in friendly Carlisle and was on his way to besiege Jedburgh castle which surrendered on the 17th of October 1298. On the forfeiting of the Comyn lands in 1306, the castle passed to the Douglas family. The Douglases made the Turnbull family their tenants.
