Craigs

Annandiae praefectura, Vulgo, The Stewartrie of Annandail
Joan Blaeu, Amsterdam, 1654map image courtesy of NLS

Kraigs is marked on Blaeu’s mid-17th century map of Annandale, based on Pont’s late 16th century work, as a tower surrounded by wooded parkland.

One wall of the castle still stood in the mid-19th century but nothing of it now remains.
