Cardoness Castle

The prominent remains of Cardoness Castle are located immediately to the north of the A75 Trunk Road, a mile (1.5 km) southwest of Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway. Built in the 15th Century, the four storey tower house overlooks the Water of Fleet and was the ancestral home of the McCulloch clan. Disputes between the McCullochs and Gordons resulted in abandonment of the castle in 1697. The castle was drawn in 1815 by William Daniell (1769 - 1837) with the resulting print published in his Voyage Round Great Britain.
