Drumlanrig Castle


 

Drumlanrig Castle is a large castle in the Southwest of Scotland, near to Thornhill, in Dumfries and Galloway. It is owned by the Duke of Buccleuch. Despite its name it is actually a baroque country house built between 1684 and 1691 for the 1st Duke of Queensberry which had no military function. However two earlier, "genuine" castles had stood on the site.
