Sir John de Graham’s Castle

[@GraemeTurner]

Sir John de Graham Castle is a fine example of a relatively rare type of medieval earthwork - the square motte. The site is thought to have been the residence of Sir John de Graham, who was killed at the battle of Falkirk in 1298 - however, the castle itself may be of earlier date, probably the principal stronghold of the Barony of Dundaff (on record in 1237).
