Baldoon Castle

Little remains of the castle:[1] only a length of the south wall with the springing of at least three walls on its north face, and the remains of an entrance gateway lying 50 metres (160 ft) to the north.

[2]The gate piers which were part of the entrance to the castle with bands of stylised rock-faced rustication alternating with lozenges.

[3] It is said that the ghost of Janet Dalrymple of Carscreugh haunts the ruin, in a bloodied wedding dress.

Janet was forced to marry Sir David Dunbar of Carscreugh Castle although she had fallen in love with another man,[1] the impoverished Archibald 3rd Lord Rutherfurd.

She either was murdered on her wedding night or died insane shortly afterward.
