Marian Tower

Title
Marian Tower
Description
Newly restored by Solway Heritage with the assistance of the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme, this charming small monument was built in 1802. It almost certainly commemorates Mary Kincaid (d 1801), widow of Rev Andrew Ross of Balsarroch and stepmother of the Arctic explorer Sir John Ross. Local folklore associates it with a dairymaid from Drumdow Farm who was killed by a bull, but this is unlikely. (From Stranraer take the A718 to Leswalt, turn right on B798, continue until Y fork, take B738 past Drumdow Farm. Continue to the left turn to Bankswell where there is parking for 2 cars in the roadend. Access is via stile over fence)
