One chamber contains an inn cameo in recognition of the building's use as a hotel in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Drumlanrig's Tower also contains an exhibition of the late Steve Hislop's bikes and some of the trophies which he won.
But no visit to a Scottish tower house is complete without climbing to the top of the turret and going out onto the parapet
and concluding with a view from the parapet of the surrounding buildings.
The tower mill (right) and corn exchange (left) are currently undergoing restoration to provide a theatre and genealogy centre. In the background is St. Mary's Church.
Drumlanrig's Tower is open daily from Easter till the end of October. Approximate distance from Dumfries - 50 miles.
