Hoddom Castle

Hoddom Castle is a Scottish L-plan tower house and later courtyard castle on the River Annan in Dumfries and Galloway. Its core tower dates to the 16th century and was extended in the 17th and again in the 19th century with neo-Jacobean ranges; the estate also includes the separate mid-16th-century Repentance Tower on Trailtrow Hill. The property was occupied and altered through the 19th century and remained a large country house into the early 20th century.

As it stood in 1890

The shape it held in its prime.

A stone L‑plan tower house rising above adjoining ranges, with a projecting wing creating the L shape and enclosed ranges forming a courtyard to one side. 17th‑century courtyard ranges and later 19th‑century neo‑Jacobean wings extend to the north, south and west of the tower. The building sits beside the River Annan within estate grounds; stone construction throughout, mixed rooflines where the tower rises above lower multi‑storey domestic ranges. Repentance Tower stands separately on nearby Trailtrow Hill.
