Old Photograph Mauchline Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Mauchline castle, Ayrshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle was constructed by monks from Melrose Abbey in about 1450. Campbell of Loudoun was appointed Bailie of Barony in 1521, gaining the temporal lordship in 1606. Gavin Hamilton, friend of Robert Burns, later lived in the tower as a tenant of Lord Loudoun. Robert Burns is said to have written the parody sermon The Calf, and to have married Jean Armour, in the castle.
