Garlies, a ruined castle in Minnigaff parish, Kirkcudbrightshire, 2½ miles N by E of Newton-Stewart. From the latter half of the 13th century the seat of the ancestors of the Earl of Galloway, it gives to the Earl the title of Baron (cre. 1607). It has, for several hundred years, been in a state of ruin; and, though now in a fragmentary condition, it has walls so very tightly mortar-bound as to be nearly as solid as rock.
