Park Place, a castle in Old Luce parish, Wigtownshire, 5 furlongs WSW of Glenluce village. Crowning a flat-topped eminence in the midst of a little wood on the W side of the Water of Luce, and built by Thomas Hay in 1590, it is a lofty turreted edifice, with crowstepped gables, itself conspicuous, and commanding a wide view. It was deserted for Dunragit more than half a century since, and now is only partially occupied by labourers.Ord. Sur., sh. 3, 1856.
