About

Tibbers Castle is a motte-and-bailey castle overlooking a ford across the River Nith in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. To the east is the village of Carronbridge and to the north west is a 16th-century country house, Drumlanrig Castle.

A 13th-century castle held by the Comyns, later captured by the English during the Wars of Independence. William Wallace's forces attacked it in 1298. The castle was garrisoned by the English until retaken by Robert the Bruce. Only earthworks and wall fragments survive, set above the River Nith near Thornhill in Dumfriesshire.
