Tilquhillie Castle
Note.
About the year 1647 Robert Douglas succeeded to the Estate of Tilwhilly, & having accepted
the honor of knighthood & a high command from the Royalists had his house here garrisoned by
the Covenanters, & was himself obliged ultimately to retire to the continent with the ruin of all
his property.- [New Statistical Account .Page 341..].


Tilquhillie Castle ceased to be the residence of the Douglas family upwards
of 100 years ago, and is now occupied by the tenant of the adjacent farm
The entrance to the Castle is still furnished with the ancient grille & bar. [Initialled] EHC.
