The site of the old Lefnoreis Castle[1] or Ward of Lochnorris[2] (NS 53908 20515) lies about 100 yards north-west of the old stable block of Dumfries House in East Ayrshire, Parish of Old Cumnock, Scotland. The old castle stood on a natural rise overlooking the Lugar Water, built and held for many years by the Craufurd family.[3][4] For consistency the spelling Craufurd will be used throughout and Lefnoreis for the castle.
