Edingham Castle is a late medieval fortified tower located in Kirkcudbrightshire in south-west Scotland. The structure dates from the fifteenth or sixteenth century and represents a common defensive settlement type of the period, built to protect against both external threat and internal dispute. The castle survives as a ruined tower, characteristic of the numerous small strongholds constructed by Scottish landowners during this era of feudal consolidation. Its location within Kirkcudbrightshire reflects the strategic importance of the region's defensive architecture during the late medieval period.
