The #frozen #moat around #Caerlaverock #Castle in #Dumfries And #Galloway #Scotland

The wonderfully triangular Caerlaverock Castle and its inner moat. Standing some seven miles south of Dumfries, it was built in the 1260s and 1270s to replace a slightly older castle whose traces can still be seen nearby.

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

We travel nine miles south-east to the magnificent triangular Caerlaverock Castle, on a site close to the north shore of the Solway Firth. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dumfries/caerlaverock/index.html

Each day we visit one of the many wonderful places that Scotland has to offer and ask where to go to next. Votes cast on the poll attached as a reply by 4 p.m. (UK) tomorrow, Sunday, will decide.
