 The castle was rebuilt by 1522, when the Home estates were restored to Alexander's brother George Home, 4th Lord Home.During the "Rough Wooing" of Scotland by Henry VIII, the castle was captured again by the English in 1547, but was back in Scottish hands by the time of Mary, Queen of Scots' stay here in 1566.The recapture of Fast Castle from the English is said to have been instigated by Madge Gordon, a Coldingham widow.
