Caerlaverock Castle is a moated triangular castle first built in the 13th century. It is located on the southern coast of Scotland, 11 kilometres south of Dumfries.
With its moat, twin towered gatehouse and imposing battlements, this awe-inspiring castle is the epitome of the medieval stronghold and one of the finest castles in Scotland.
The castle's turbulent history owes much to its proximity to England which brought it into the brutal cross-border conflicts.
Although ruined, Caerlaverock is still a substantial structure.
