Caerlaverock Castle

The lands of Caerlaverock were granted to the Maxwell family in about 1220. The castle dates from the 1270s, though an earlier castle built a short distance away to the southeast was later abandoned in favour of the present one. Its proximity to the English border meant that it was frequently involved in conflict. In 1300, Edward of England laid siege with 87 knights and 3,000 men. Siege engines were brought from the castles of Lochmaben, Carlisle, Roxburgh, Jedburgh and Skinburness. Not surprisingly, Lord Maxwell's garrison of 60 men soon surrendered.
The Castle is situated in Dumfries,Scotland
