What is recorded here

Crawford Castle stands in ruins on the north bank of the River Clyde, guarding the Mennock Pass where Roman soldiers and Scottish lords once watched for danger. The Lindsay family built its stone walls by 1175, but James V later used the place as a hunting lodge before the Earls of Angus took it back. Much of its stone was reused to build a nearby farmhouse, leaving only broken walls and buried memory behind.

Crawford Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Dorset. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Crawford Castle is a medieval hillfort and motte-and-bailey castle near Wimborne Minster in Dorset, dating back to the 11th or 12th century. It is associated with the de Courcy family and is important as a well-preserved example of Norman military architecture in the region.
