Cruggleton Otherwise Crugilton Church
Cruggleton Church, (Crugilton) about 750m due west, is of Norman origin, having been established in the early 12th century by Fergus, first Lord of Galloway. It may indicate the approximate site of the village of Cruggleton.
The church itself is not directly accessible from the castle as it is located in a copse in the middle of a field. Access is available from the B7063, where it is clearly signposted. The church is locked but the key is available locally (at the neighbouring farm).

Famous quotes containing the word church:
“Baseball is the religion that worships the obvious and gives thanks that things are exactly as they seem. Instead of celebrating mysteries, baseball rejoices in the absence of mysteries and trusts that, if we watch what is laid before our eyes, down to the last detail, we will cultivate the gift of seeing things as they really are.”
—Thomas Boswell, U.S. sports journalist. “The Church of Baseball,” Baseball: An Illustrated History, ed. Geoffrey C. Ward, Knopf (1994)
