An interesting Medieval Tower with great views from the top.

Surprise find

Well worth a visit. This castle in the centre of Stranraer was unknown to us and we are glad we visited it. Happy to give a donation to this well refurbished building. Gift shop needs rethought out...

A great place to visit.
