ipflo Moderator	posted 06-22-2004 06:01 PM hi, does some one know where I can find (more) information about Douglas Castle, Douglas, Strathclyde, UK. (like pictures or so) Built by John and James Adam for the 1st duke of Douglas. The castle was a direct descendant of Inverary Castle. Only the half of the Adam castle was ever built in its classical neo-gothic style. The castle was demolished in 1951. Was the castle built on the place of another castle or house? Thx in advance ipflo

I did find a picture of a remaining tower on; www.uk.geocities.com/snow-man1uk/picturedouglascastle there was some info on; www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk hope you can access these sites Pete
