Old Photographs Ardwell House Scotland

Old photograph of Ardwell House, Rhins of Galloway, Wigtownshire, Scotland. On the grounds of this Scottish mansion house, on a ridge above the road, are the remains of a medieval motte; the castle bailey may have stood to the north. In addition, south of the church are the ruins of Killaser Castle, the ancestral home of the McCullochs, who formerly held Ardwell,Stoneykirk, Rhinns, Wigtownshire. Near High Ardwell, on the other side of the peninsula, are the remains of Doon Castle, the best example of an Iron Age broch in Dumfries and Galloway. Ardwell used to hold the Leek Fair, where plants were sold.
