AboutThe Castle of St John is an early 16th-century L-plan tower house located in Dumfries and Galloway, southwest Scotland. This castle was built by the Adairs of Kilhilt in 1510. During the Victorian era, the Castle of St John was modified to serve as a prison, and it was used as an ARP base during the second world war. Over the years, the castle has operated as a residence, a local court, a military fortress, and a jail. The castle was refurbished in the late 1980s and is now a museum. The castle affords free entry. Enjoy this castle with your family or friends.
