Castles and tower houses of Dumfries and Galloway
A ducal estate, ruined towers and a royal stronghold scattered across Dumfries and Galloway.
Drumlanrig Castle, the category A listed Dumfriesshire seat of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, anchors a region scattered with older ruins. Dumfries Castle was once a royal stronghold rebuilt in stone after the town became a royal burgh, while Morton Castle stands above an artificial loch in the hills of Nithsdale. Hoddom Castle by the River Annan, Kenmure Castle near New Galloway, Dalswinton Castle, Auchen Castle near Moffat, the rare 16th-century Repentance Tower and the mansion of Friars Carse complete the trail.
