Hoddom Castle, Category A listed castle in Cummertrees, Scotland
The L-shaped tower house stands on the banks of the River Annan, featuring multiple floors and traditional Scottish architectural elements.
The castle, constructed in the 16th century for Sir John Maxwell, withstood a ten-hour siege by Regent Moray in 1568 during Mary Queen of Scots' reign.
The castle represents the military and defensive structures that characterized the Scottish-English border region during the medieval period.
The castle grounds now include a caravan park, with the 19th-century additions serving as office spaces for current operations.
Near the castle stands the Repentance Tower, a 16th-century watch tower with an enigmatic inscription above its entrance.
