Lochnaw Castle Lochnaw Castle (in the pouring rain), home (once upon a time) of the Agnew family. The oldest bit is the tall tower, which is 16th century. It was an hotel for a while, but had stopped being so when I arrived there to stay recently! It is now a private home again (with a very long and muddy drive!).
