(NS 6202 8768) Culcreuch (NAT)
OS 6" map (1922)
Culcreuch Castle consists of a rubble-built tower with dressed quoins typical of the turn of the 15th/ 16th century, but is now part of a complex structure. A wing was added to its east side in the 18th century and further additions were made later to both these earlier elements. Notwithstanding the presence of a panel dated 1721 over the entrance, the wing was probably built towards the end of the 18th century. Above this panel is another with illegible date.
