One of the finest examples of early classical Renaissance building in Scotland and the chief seat of the Maxwell family.

Jacobean facade interior to this triangular castle.

Check out this other interesting site of Caerlaverock Castle, The Caerlaverock Dig:
"In 1998, a team of archaeologists from SUAT carried out an excavation of the old castle site, on behalf of Historic Scotland, and they have returned this summer (1999) to continue their investigation. The purpose of the dig is to provide information about the `old' castle and a possible harbour to its south-west, so that the site can be set out and interpreted for visitors."
