Ruins of a 16th-century L-plan tower house, with a reconstructed kitchen.
MacLellan's Castle in the town of Kirkcudbright, in Galloway, Scotland, was built in the late 16th century. It stands in the centre of Kirkcudbright, on the south side of the River Dee which flows into the Solway Firth. The L-plan castle was the residence of the MacLellan family from whom it derived its name. The family sold the castle in 1752, and from 1782 to 1912 it was held by the Earls of Selkirk. Today, the site is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.

Cistercian Abbey, built in Romanesque style from 1142. It fell into ruin after the Reformation but its hard-wearing grey sandstone means it's reasonably well preserved.
Well-preserved 15th-century tower house, uninhabited since 1697. The owner Sir Godfrey McCulloch shot dead a rival, escaped to France, but quietly returned to live in Scotland under an alias; but he was spotted and guillotined.
