Morton Castle is probably in the most stunning setting of any castle in Scotland, it proudly stands at the head of a triangular bluff, on both sides there are steep declines into Morton Loch and has fabulous views of the lovely Lowther Hills. It is not the easiest place to find, it is not until you are almost there that the signs begin, and there is not much remaining of this castle except the exterior walls and parts of two towers, it was constructed in the mid 1400's by the Earls of Morton. It is more the views that you come for when visiting Morton Castle, its remote location allows you to experience the beauty of the countryside and Morton Loch as well as feel the Scottish winds. In addition there are two lovely walking trails here, one will take you to on to other ruins further along or the other trail takes you in a circle back to Morton Castle. Although not much to explore of the castle, the views and beauty of the surrounding countryside more than make up, if you like travelling to places a bit off the beaten track than Morton Castle is for you.
