The ancient church at Cruggleton sits at the site of what was once an important settlement of the Britons who once inhabited Galloway. Long afterwards a castle was built there but it is now in ruins and there are no traces of any settlement. Today the place is the preserve of the sheep and the circling crows.
The little church is surrounded by trees and a wall with stone steps set into it that allow the rare visitor to climb over and walk around the building. This door set with iron and huge hinges is particularly impressive. Cruggleton Church can be found on the B7063 a little south of Garlieston,
