Comlongon Castle

Comlongon Castle is a tower house dating from the later 15th century or early 16th century. It is located 1 kilometre (0.6 mi) west of the village of Clarencefield, and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south-east of Dumfries, in south west Scotland. The original tower has been extended by the addition of a baronial style mansion, completed around 1900.

Originally built by the Murrays of Cockpool, the castle remained in the Murray family until 1984. It was subsequently restored, having been vacant for some time, and the castle and mansion are now a hotel. In April 2019, the business side of Comlongon Castle went into administration, so all weddings and accommodation booked for after that date were cancelled, and the future of the castle was left uncertain.
