" the present Church, is an Island supposed
"to have been the site of a religious house
"prior to the reformation. This Island was

[Situation] Lies between White Loch & Black Loch
A large pile of building in a ruinous state apparently once a stately Castle and a place of strength the walls are not much dilapidated though having no roof They are mostly covered with ivy the walls are in many places perforated with port holes the windows Small. All or most of the apartments above the ground flour were (apparently) supported by arched work. This ruin stands on a slight eminence between two large lochs which are connected at the SE [South East] side by a canal rendering the place on which the castle stands almost an island. there are some trees around the ruin but the grounds have been much improved of late years by the present proprietor Earl of Stair to whose ancestor it was mortgaged by a descendant of the Earl of Cassilis it appears the Earl of Stair is now the undoubted proprietor as the sum required to redeem it is far above the present value
"The exact date of its construction is not Known but probably it was not built until after 1668 as it is not mentioned in a charter or retour of that date " "Castle Kennedy was anciently the Seat of the Cassils family from one of whom it was purchased by the Earl of Stair. The ruinous state of the building was [occurred by] " accidental fire in 1717 and is supposed to have begun in the landry. Everything was consumed but no lives were lost as the family were not at home the gardeners saved [himself] by Jumping out of a high window" Grose's Antiquities Vol. [Volume] 2 Page 191
"In the reign of Charles 2 Castle Kennedy with the adjacent lands passed to Sir John Dalrymple younger of Stair and to that family it has since belonged " The Castle was accidentally burned in 1715 and has never since been habitable. The walls which are still standing are 70 feet high the castle is beautifully located between two fresh water lochs. The grounds and plantations are laid off by Marshal Stair and are said to be a kind of Military picture which that distinguished Soldier "fought his battles o'er again" Statistical Acct. [Account] of Wigtownshire 1839 Page 88
N.B. A point of this building is used as a Trigl. [Trigonometrical] Station called after the castle |
