Scope and Content View of buildings, Blacklaw, Dumfries and Galloway In the 16th century, Blacklaw was the focus of a large medieval estate, with an assortment of barns, stores, kilns and other buildings. These extensive and impressive ruins lie some 550m north of Longbedholm steading within a forest clearing. The outline of this rectangular building can still be made out by its grass-grown stone footings. Blacklaw is first recorded around 1315 in a grant by Robert I to David Lindsay. The estate subsequently passed to the Herries of Terregles, to the Maxwells and finally to the Johnstones. Lesser estate centres were established at Mellingshaw and Raecleugh.
