Auchleuchries (possible) (site of)

The farmstead of Auchleuchries is said to have been the site of a manor or castle although little in the way of evidence has been provided for this.

I have included it as a possible castle pending further research.

The site of the Old House Of Auchleuchries, demolished in 1864, is now occupied by a later cottage with farm buildings close by. The gate piers of the old house are still standing.
