[Situation] In the central part of Castle Island.
The ruins of an old Castle or Stronghold Supposed to have been built some time in the 13th. Century, situated on a rocky Island in Loch Doon. It is built in a figure (not regular) of a 11 sides, averaging about 66 feet in diameter, and its walls about 6ft. [feet] in thickness and standing pretty entire about two stories in height, from its situation, it must have been a place of great strength and inpregnable before the use of gunpowder was known. It is said in Nicholson's Hist. [History] of Galloway Vol. [Volume] 1 (Appendix) P. [Page] 17, that, It belonged to the Lords of Carrick, the Ancestors of King Robert the Bruce. And in the Tytler's History of Scotland rendered essential service to the King, took refuge in his own Castle of Loch Doon; but it was pusillanimously given up to the English by Sir Gilbert de Corrie the hereditary keeper thereof.' "Tradition States, that when the English in 1319 beseiged the Castle of Loch Doon, being unable to take it by Storm, they raised an embankment of earth and stone, lined with raw hides to prevent the water from oozing through the rampart, across the place where the lake discharges itself; hoping thereby to inundate the Castle. The work was finished; and the water rising rapidly. One of the Soldiers named McNab Volunteered to destroy the caul or rampart and being a good swimmer, he took the water at midnight, with a large bonnet
sword

"Sword, folded in his Cape, with which he succeeded in cutting several large holes in the hides through which the water rushed with such force, sweeping away everything in its course, that he was carried down in the current, and consequently lost his life in saving his companions; but in gratitude for the service he had rendered his Country, a grant of land was conferred on his Son, which bears the name of Macknabton to this day.
In the dry summer of 1826, some fishing parties from Dalmellington discovered 9 canoes in the deep water of the Lake near to the Castle; three of them were lifted entire; they were formed of Oak tree; and must have been the boats used at the time by the inmates of the Castle. The largest of them is now in the museum of Glasgow, the other are sunk in a place made for them at the foot of the Loch, where they are placed for the gratification of the curious, In one of the Canoes were found a battle axe, and the Sole and upper part of a Lady's shoe; the sole was entire the upper part of which had been sewed to the Sole by fine thongs seemed much decayed. the shoe is in the possession of Mr. Train of Castle Douglas' See Nicholson's Hist.

The ruins of a Castle or Stronghold, built it is Supposed in the 13th. Century on a Solid rock on an island (Castle Island) Situated in the Southern portion of Loch Doon It is built in a figure (not regular) of 11 Sides, its diameter averaging about 66 feet, its walls are about 6½ feet thick And Stand pretty entire to a height of two Stories. It appears by its insular Situation to have been a place of great strength And easily defended, a few brave And determined men might have held it out against a numerous And opposing force history (Nich. Hist. Gal.) [Nicholson's History of Galloway]) proves this for mention is made of its [being] more than once besieged but to no effect until given up by treachery or Cowardice. In 1306 it belonged to Sir Christopher de Seaton who took shelter in it from the English forces, but it appears to have been pusillanimously given up to them by Sir Gilbert de Corrie hereditary Keeper thereof (See Tyt.
