Comlongon Castle
Comlongon Castle is a late medieval red sandstone tower house with an attached Scottish Baronial mansion to its east. Built for the Murrays of Cockpool around the turn of the 16th century, the tower and later mansion formed a fortified residence and estate in Dumfries and Galloway. The complex has been restored and adapted over centuries and is protected as a category A listed building.

As it stood in 1900
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact red sandstone tower approximately 15 by 13 metres, rising about 18 metres to a corbelled parapet on a raised stone plinth set into marshy ground. The tower entrance retains an iron yett; walls up to 4.1 m thick contain a vaulted cellar with a well and two spiral stairs. The hall has a large fireplace with the Royal Arms carved above and an elaborately carved cinquefoil aumbry. Roofline features include crow-stepped gables and projecting corbels; an early-20th-century Baronial mansion adjoins the tower's east side.
