dbo:abstract Cruggleton Castle ist eine Burgruine am Cruggleton Point an der Küste von The Machars, etwa 4,5 km östlich von Whithorn und etwa 6 km südöstlich von Sorbie in der schottischen Verwaltungseinheit Dumfries and Galloway. Ausgrabungen in den 1970er- und 1980er-Jahren förderten Überreste verschiedener Nutzungsperioden vom 1. bis zum 17. Jahrhundert nach Christus zutage. Der erste steinerne Turm wurde im 13. Jahrhundert auf dem Mound einer älteren Motte errichtet. Die Burg lag auf einem hohen Felsvorsprung, der eine Landzunge an der östlichen Klippenfront bildet, etwa 40 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Der Name „Cruggleton“ soll von der felsigen Natur des Standortes herrühren.

The castle is located on a high outcrop of shale, which forms a promontory on the east-facing cliff edge, about 40 metres (130 ft) above sea level. The name "Cruggleton" is taken to derive from the rocky nature of the site. (en)
