Castle Douglas
Castle Douglas is a community in Dumfries and also Galloway, Scotland. It depends on the lieutenancy area of Kirkcudbrightshire, in the eastern part of Galloway, in between the towns of Dalbeattie and also Gatehouse of Fleet. It is in the ecclesiastical parish of Kelton. Castle Douglas is developed next to Carlingwark Loch in which traces of ancient crannogs can be located, proof of very early inhabitation of the area. A large bronze cauldron containing about 100 steel objects was found in Carlingwark Loch near Fir Island concerning 1866. The hoard of devices of iron and bronze is possibly Romano-Belgic of the late first or early second centuries AD as well as is likely to have actually been a votive candles offering. It is now in the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh. To the North of the community Glenlochar is the site of 2 succeeding Roman fts, the initial being erected throughout the invasion of Agricola as well as the 2nd during the Antonine period. They show up to have been for cavalry devices and proof has actually been found that a "vicus" matured around them. They were deserted entirely about 160.
