Castle Douglas is a town in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Castle Douglas lies in the lieutenancy area of Kirkcudbrightshire, in the eastern part of Galloway, between the towns of Dalbeattie and Gatehouse of Fleet.
Castle Douglas is built next to Carlingwark Loch in which traces of prehistoric crannogs can be found, evidence of early inhabitation of the area. To the North of the town Glenlochar is the site of two successive Roman forts, the first being erected during the invasion of Agricola and the second during the Antonine period.
The Castle Douglas Art Gallery is an offshoot of the Stewartry Museum at Kirkcudbright. Near the centre of town is Carlingwark Loch, a loch and SSSI, home to numerous water birds. Nearby stands Threave Castle, the family castle of the Black Douglas line of the House of Douglas. It lies on an island in the middle of the River Dee, admission includes the short ferry journey.
The main shopping street in Castle Douglas is King Street. It has a wide range of shops, including many shops not often found on many town high streets. Castle Douglas has two supermarkets (Co-Op and Tesco) and a Scotmid convenience store. Also on King Street are Italian, Chinese and Indian restaurants as well as pubs and hotels serving meals and several take-aways. Castle Douglas is designated Scotland's Food Town and boasts some 50 outlets connected with the food industry.
As a Regional Market Town, Castle Douglas accommodates Wallet's Mart, a livestock market visited by Queen Elizabeth II in July 2010. There are several churches in Castle Douglas, including a Church of Scotland, a Betheren who have recently acquired a new building, an Episcopalian and the New Life Church Castle Douglas an Elim Pentecostal Church.

Threave Castle - Castles of Scotland
Threave Castle is not the most well-known castle in Scotland. We were the only visitors during the time we were there. However, it is well worth the visit. To get there you walk down a path and then take a boat across the river.
Enjoy your visit to Threave castle - stronghold of the Douglas clan. For more information on Traveling in the United Kingdom (or traveling to Europe in general) check out my book How I Travel to Europe Every Year on a Teacher's Salary - Also available is the Travels in the UK series:

Creich Castle
Creich Castle, North Fife, Scotland. The Earl MacDuff chose this site for one of his defensive towers. Kinsmen of the Leddel and Beaton families were installed as Constable of Creich Castle. Farmers of Creich family stayed on the farm to continue to produce the food required by the favorite royal castle of Falklands. The Laird of Creich, Beaton by name, had an older brother who was the Archbishop of St. Andrews nearby. The third son of Laird Creich, Davie Beaton, went to work for his uncle, the Archbishop of St. Andrews. This Scottish Castle is located in a quiet hollow surrounded with hills, next to the castle is a private dwelling built in the eighteenth century of stones from the castle. On the same road and near the castle are ruins of an ancient church and graveyard.

Walk To Kellie Castle East Neuk Of Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland travel video of a walk to Kellie Castle on visit to the East Neuk Of Fife. The earliest records of Kellie go back to 1150 where it is mentioned in a charter issued by King David I. The first known owner was Robert of London, the illegitimate son of King William the Lion. By 1266 Kellie had passed to the Siward family, who had hailed from Northumbria and had assisted King Malcolm Canmore to overthrow Macbeth. The Siewards supported England during the wars of independence and as a result Sir Richard Sieward forfeited his lands in Scotland after Bannockburn. However his daughter Helena Sieward, Lady Kellie retained Kellie.
