This archival photograph from 1977 captures the Castle of St John situated in the heart of Stranraer, Wigtownshire. The image features the L-plan tower house, which was originally built around 1510 by the Adairs of Kilhilt. The grey stone structure stands in contrast to the surrounding 20th-century urban development, including the white and yellow buildings that sit adjacent to it. In the foreground, a paved parking area contains several period vehicles, while the castle’s distinctive corbelled battlements and historic masonry are clearly visible against a soft, overcast sky. This factual record documents the castle before its later restoration and development into a museum, illustrating its role as a central landmark within the town’s streetscape during the late 1970s. All our images are available as royalty-free instant downloads for use in books, media, and creative projects—or make your own prints for home, work, or as a truly unique gift.
