About Torthorwald

Torthorwald, a village and civil parish in Dumfries and Galloway, is situated 6 kilometres east of Dumfries along the A709 road to Lochmaben. Historically significant, it was owned by the de Torthorwald family until the late 13th century when it passed to the Kirkpatricks. The village features the remains of Torthorwald Castle, likely built in the early 15th century, which served as a barony until 1715, with two walls still standing at approximately 18 metres tall. This rich historical backdrop may be relevant for those exploring planning applications in the area.
