ABOUT CAERLAVEROCK CASTLE
A wide moat, twin-towered gatehouse and lofty battlements make Caerlaverock the epitome of the medieval stronghold. It was once the chief seat of the Maxwells, one of the noble families of the south of Scotland.

The Maxwells repaired and updated Caerlaverock over the years, but it was besieged and captured multiple times throughout the Wars of Independence with England. After the siege in 1640, the castle was stripped of valuable fixtures and fittings - Caerlaverock has never been used as a place of defence since.

This app was developed by Jam Creative Studios for Historic Environment Scotland and is available for free with no in-app purchases.
