Lochnaw Castle

Lochnaw Castle is a 16th-century Scottish tower house with an attached range of later domestic buildings, sited beside Lochnaw Loch in Wigtownshire. The central five-storey square keep is joined to 17th- and 18th-century domestic wings; the property remained a private residence into the 20th century.

As it stood in 1704

The shape it held in its prime.

A five-storey square stone tower (the 16th‑century keep) stands at one end of a long two-storey domestic range with a steep slate roof and multiple chimneys; the masonry is pale grey rubble with darker inclusions. The tower is capped by a battlemented parapet and small corner projection, while the adjoining range has regularly spaced sash or mullioned windows and a central doorway. The complex sits on low terraced lawns beside a loch and was complete in its early‑18th‑century form, including a small chapel added in 1704.
