The awe-inspiring Ruthwell Cross in Dumfries & Galloway, the most magnificent Anglian cross in Scotland. It is 17ft tall and was carved in the 700s at a time when the area was under the control of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria.

The impressive Devorgilla Bridge crossing the River Nith in Dumfries, one of the oldest standing bridges in Scotland. It was built in its current form to repair or replace a bridge from the 1430s that was partly destroyed in 1620/1.

The amazingly well preserved Wanlockhead Beam Engine in Wanlockhead, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland's highest village. It was built here in the 1870s to help drain a lead mine that had by then been in operation for two centuries.

Some buildings seem to give off feelings. For us, Cruggleton Church, near Whithorn in Dumfries & Galloway, is one of the most forbidding and unsettling places we've visited. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/whithorn/cruggletonchurch/index.html

Carsluith Castle, looking out over Wigtown Bay three miles south of Creetown in Dumfries & Galloway and dating back to the 1400s. It has a later collection of outbuilding, showing how many castles became the focus of small settlements.

The forlorn ruins of Sanquhar Castle, on the southern edge of Sanquhar in Dumfries & Galloway. The castle was built by the Crichton family from around 1400 and abandoned in 1900 after partial restoration by the 3rd Marquess of Bute.

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.

#Threave near #CastleDouglas in #DumfriesandGalloway looking like a painting now the uncut meadows are in full bloom. Two years into a one hundred year landscape regeneration project, the transformation in this short time is breathtaking. If you can visit, it’s currently a. bit like a desert in #superbloom

The superb Museum of Lead Mining can be found high in the Lowther Hills in Wanlockhead, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland's highest village.

Remote and little-known Morton Castle, standing on the south-west flank of the the Lowther Hills above Nithsdale in Dumfries & Galloway.

Orchardton Tower, south of Dalbeattie in Dumfries & Galloway, is Scotland's only free-standing circular tower house and was probably inspired by similar structures in Ireland. It was built in the mid-1400s and stands some 33ft high. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/palnackie/orchardtontower/index.html
