Wetland Words of the Week 16
Our newest wetland word of the week is...
... Comlongon. I'm sure you have heard of Caerlaverock Castle but have you heard of Comlongon Castle? Located north of the reserve, it was a tower house built in the 16th century that was then extended with a baronial style mansion in 1900. It was originally built by the Murrays of Cockpool and remained in the family until the late 20th century. It has been everything from a masion to a children's home to its present incarnation of a hotel (currently closed).
