Lochmaben Castle

rdfs:comment

Lochmaben Castle is a ruined castle in the town of Lochmaben, the feudal Lordship of Annandale, and the united county of Dumfries and Galloway. According to the Historic Scotland notice board (see photo) it was built by Edward I in AD1298 and later rebuilt during the reign of James IV of Scotland. About AD1298 King Edward replaced the "Old Lochmaben Castle Motte" with the much sturdier structure at the south end of Castle Loch and its remains still show the massive strength of its defences. By July 1455 the castle was in the possession of Alexander Stewart, Duke of Albany, etc.,(d.1485).

Lochmaben Castle is a ruined castle in the town of Lochmaben, the feudal Lordship of Annandale, and the united county of Dumfries and Galloway. According to the Historic Scotland notice board (see photo) it was built by Edward I in AD1298 and later rebuilt during the reign of James IV of Scotland. About AD1298 King Edward replaced the "Old Lochmaben Castle Motte" with the much sturdier structure at the south end of Castle Loch and its remains still show the massive strength of its defences. On 4 February 1384/5 Archibald Douglas, Lord of Galloway, with the assistance of the Earls of March and Douglas, after a siege of nine days, took Lochmaben Castle from the English and "razed it to the ground". The castle and barony became a possession of the Earls of March, but when the 10th Earl was forfeited and then reinstated, in 1409, it is noted that it was "with the exception of the castle of Lochmaben and the Lordship of Annandale". By July 1455 the castle was in the possession of Alexander Stewart, Duke of Albany, etc.,(d.1485).
