Old Photograph Ravenstone Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Ravenstone Castle near Whithorn in Wigtownshire, Scotland. This, now ruined Scottish castle also known as Ravinstone, or Remeston was one of the principal buildings in the parish, belonging to Robert Stewart, brother of the Earl of Galloway; it is first mentioned soon after 1455, and it is called Lochtoun alias Remistoun in 1585. It was extensively altered during the 18th century reconstruction, but retained two barrel vaulted basements, a number of original windows, and two gun loops. Earl of Galloway is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1623 for Alexander Stewart, 1st Lord Garlies, with remainder to his heirs male bearing the name and arms of Stewart.
