The ‘Castel of Sanchare is plotted on Pont’s map of Nithsdale, and was once a large and strategically significant castle. It was owned in the 1290s by Robert Ross, passing to the Crichtons in the 14 th century. William Wallace captured Sanquhar from the English and there are some connections with Bruce – it was said he visited the castle. Looking upon the evocative ruins (some of the stonework dates back to the 13 th century!), guests will learn about the castle’s history and haunting tales, its proud remnants harking back to Sanquhar’s days as a powerful stronghold.
