MacLellan's Castle, standing in the heart of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries & Galloway. It was built in 1569 after the Reformation brought about the abandonment of the Convent of Greyfriars, which had stood on the site it occupies since 1449.

@tombradleyjr Another obvious example not mentioned in the article is Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey mystery 'The Five Red Herrings', one of my favourites due to the Scottish setting and the satire on the Kirkcudbright Artists' Colony.

Here's a very niche question:
Seeking a #Local with knowledge of #History / #Genealogy of the #Kirkcudbright area, which I believe was formerly known as #Kirkcudbrightshire
Particularly, I am interested in the prevalence of the name #Cavet / #Cavett (or alternate spellings) in the area during the late 17thC. I am trying to decide whether a hunch based upon limited data warrants full (and time-consuming) research. If anyone cares to chat, I'd much appreciate it.
Delighted at first meeting freebie - the third #Galloway Glens booklet. This one on the #historic #woodland of #Barhill Woods, #Kirkcudbright. A great booklet from Can You Dig It #community #archaeology project.
