Sanquhar Castle is an impressive 13th-century ruin that overlooks the town below. The castle hosted many notable guests in its heyday, including Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Edward I, Edward II, Mary Queen of Scots, and James VI. The castle fell vacant around 1690. It's now in private ownership.
