Lincluden College
Tower is a 16th century stone tower house, founded by the Provost William
Stewart.
The collegiate church
was founded in 1389, by Archibald the Grim, 3rd Earl of Douglas on the
site of an earlier nunnery. After the Reformation, the three storey range
immediately adjacent to the church, was doubled in length and a four
storey tower added to its northern end. Guarding the ground floor
entrance, is the remains of a projecting semi-octagonal stair turret, with gunloops. The tower stands in the bailey of Kirkhill Mote and 5 miles east
is
Torthorwald Castle.
Lincluden College Tower is located
north of Dumfries, off Abbey Lane. A mile north of Dumfries, on the
A780-A76.
The site is owned by
Historic Scotland and is open daily,
