Kenmure Castle, Galloway, Scotland. The earliest records appear to be of the castle being acquired by the Gordons of Lochinvar in 1297. Of what we see today, the oldest part is most likely the centre portion of the north range (to the right of the photograph), dating from c.1630. The south range was added later in the 17th century, and there have been various additions and modifications since. In the late 18th century, the castle was described as ruinous, but substantially remodelled in the 19th century. It was still in use in the 20th century, operating as a hotel in the 1940s and ‘50s, but a fire in the late 1950s destroyed the interior, rendering the castle a roofless empty shell, sitting in ruinous grandeur on its knoll just south of New Galloway.
