Clan Crawford People
Thomas Crawford of Jordanhill
The seemingly impenetrable Dumbarton Castle remained in the hands of the supporters of Mary, Queen of Scots longer than any other castle save Edinburgh. It was only when Thomas Crawford of Jordanhill commanded a spectacular and risky assault that the castle was taken.
Clan Crawford Places
Craufurdland Castle in Ayrshire is one of the oldest castles in the region, dating from 1245.
The current owner is Simon Craufurd so is still in Crauford (Crawford) hands. The castle has rich associations to many of the leading figures of Scottish history, wonderful stories of a tunnel which thwarted the attacking English, and a tale of helping King James I fight off a gang of bandits.
