Cassencarie House stands in Dumfries and Galloway as a decaying nineteenth-century mansion built around a medieval tower house, perhaps belonging to the Muirs. Its gate piers and walled garden still mark the boundaries of a life long gone, inviting wonder about the hands that tended those gardens or the feet that crossed its thresholds. The ruins preserve more than stone; they hold the shape of forgotten days when the house remained alive to the people within it.
