Sanquhar Castle
Bult in the 13th Century, Sitting on the left hand side as you approach the burgh from the south. The castle is a stronghold bounded on the west by the River Nith, to the north by a burn, and made strong by a deep ditch running the remainder of the boundary. It was visited by many notable figures including Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Edward I, Mary, Queen of Scots, and James VI.
Sadly the castle is too dangerous for the public to explore inside and is fenced off but you can still enjoy the walk round about the fields and imagine the history that once was.
The Waird and War Memorial
In 1774 the Sanquhar Society of Curlers was formed. Competitions between the local parishes was keen and the warid was one of the popular venues.
