Castle Douglas
Castle Douglas is a community in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It depends on the lieutenancy area of Kirkcudbrightshire, in the eastern part of Galloway, between the communities of Dalbeattie and Gatehouse of Fleet. It remains in the ecclesiastical church of Kelton. Castle Douglas is built next to Carlingwark Loch in which traces of ancient crannogs can be discovered, evidence of very early inhabitation of the area. A large bronze cauldron having about 100 steel objects was discovered in Carlingwark Loch near Fir Island about 1866. The stockpile of tools of iron as well as bronze is most likely Romano-Belgic of the late first or early 2nd centuries AD as well as is most likely to have been a votive candles offering. It is currently in the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh. To the North of the town Glenlochar is the website of 2 successive Roman forts, the very first being erected throughout the invasion of Agricola and the 2nd throughout the Antonine period. They show up to have actually been for cavalry units as well as proof has actually been discovered that a "vicus" matured around them. They were deserted totally about 160.
