Carsecreugh, a ruined castle in Old Luce parish, Wigtownshire, 2½ miles NE of Glenluce. It stands on a desolate moor, and, says old Symson quaintly, 'might have been more pleasant, if it had been a more pleasant place.' Rebuilt by the first Viscount Stair in the latter half of the 17th century, it was the home of the 'Bride of Lammermoor' (see Baldoon), and is now represented by the square S tower and by the western side of the main edifice.
