What is recorded here

Edingham Castle stands as a ruined four-storey tower built by the Morrisons between 1570 and 1585 near Dalbeattie. The Afflecks took it in 1660, the McVicar-Afflecks held it through the 1700s, and John Hutinson bought the roofless remains in 1872. Its narrow stone chambers may have echoed with border arguments, household music, or the quiet fear of men who believed walls could keep danger at bay.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edingham Castle as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Edingham Castle was a medieval tower house built in the 15th or 16th century, likely by a local noble or landholding family in the Scottish Borders region. It is remembered as an example of the defensive and domestic architecture typical of the period, reflecting the turbulent history of the borderlands between Scotland and England.
