Lochmaben Castle The ruins of Lochmaben Castle are situated on a promontory projecting into the southern end of Castle Loch. The castle was built by Edward I towards the end of the thirteenth century. It was an important outpost in hostile territory for the English, and withstood several sieges and attacks, before falling to the Scots in 1385. The castle remained a major site in wars with the English before it was finally abandoned in the 1700s, after which its stones were taken for use in local buildings. Today it’s situated among attractive woodland next to a loch. The remains of the castle are of national importance as the best-preserved, and earliest example of the peels built in Scotland by Edward I and is designated as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland (SM90205 <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM90205" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM90205">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> )
