Old Photograph Hoddom Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Hoddom Castle, located 3 miles south west of Ecclefechan, Scotland. The lands of Hoddom or Hoddam belonged to the Herries family, allies of the Bruce family who were Lords of Annandale from 1124. It passed to the Carruthers family, and then to the Maxwells. At the core of the castle is an L-plan tower house, built in the 16th century. It was probably built for Sir John Maxwell, who acquired Hoddom in the mid 16th-century when he married the heiress Agnes, Lady Herries. Castles of Scotland.
