Lincluden College Tower is a 16th century stone tower house, founded by the Provost William Stewart. Standing on the site of an earlier nunnery in the bailey of Kirkhill Mote, the collegiate church was founded in 1389, by Archibald the Grim, Earl of Douglas. After the Reformation, the three storey range immediately adjacent to the church, was doubled in length and a four storey tower added to its northern end. Guarding the ground floor entrance, is the remains of a projecting semi-octagonal stair turret, with gunloops. Half a mile south-west is Lochside Motte and 5 miles east is Torthorwald Castle.
