Lochmaben Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
The castle remains include stone foundations and walls positioned strategically at the southern end of Castle Loch near Lochmaben town.
Edward I constructed Lochmaben Castle in 1298 to replace an earlier fortification built by the Bruce family around 1160 on a different site.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of Scottish defensive structures, transitioning from wooden motte-and-bailey designs to stone fortifications.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through designated pathways, and informational panels provide details about the historical significance of the site.
The castle experienced its final military engagement in the early 1600s when Francis Stewart infiltrated the structure by disguising himself as a woman.
