Scope and Content View of Mellingshaw Tower, Dumfries and Galloway The ruins of Mellingshaw Tower and its associated outbuildings lie on a terrace overlooking a gorge of the Mellingshaw Burn. This tower was probably built when the Blacklaw estate was subdivided. The stair wing, shown here, is the only upstanding portion of the tower. Surface remains suggest that the tower appears to have been T-shaped on plan. The surviving walls are about 0.7m thick. A barmkin enclosed the tower and its associated outbuildings. Blacklaw is first recorded around 1315 in a grant by Robert I to David Lindsay. The estate later passed to the Herries of Terregles, then the Maxwells and finally to the Johnstones. Lesser estate centres were established at Mellingshaw and Raecleugh. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
