Dargavel House, Scotland

Dargavel House is a castle in Scotland with a history dating back to the 16th century. It was originally a Z-plan tower house built by the Maxwells of Dargavel, and a panel with the Maxwell coat of arms and initials from 1584 is known to have existed. In 1849, a new wing was added to the northwest of the original building by architect David Bryce, and in 1910, Peter MacGregor Chalmers was employed to alter and extend the house further.
