Cardoness Castle is a well-preserved 15th Century tower house just south west of Gatehouse of Fleet, south west Scotland. It was originally owned by the McCulloch family of Galloway. They abandoned the castle in the late 17th Century, following the execution of Sir Godfrey McCulloch for murder. Fleet Bay can be seen from its battlements. It is now in the care of Historic Scotland.
