Old tower, Craufurdland Castle
The current owner is Simon Craufurd so is still in Crauford (Crawford) hands. The castle has rich associations to many of the leading figures of Scottish history, wonderful stories of a tunnel which thwarted the attacking English, and a tale of helping King James I fight off a gang of bandits.
