'''Edingham Castle''' is a late 16th-century [tower house](/source/tower_house) situated near [Dalbeattie](/source/Dalbeattie), [Dumfries and Galloway](/source/Dumfries_and_Galloway). It is the remains of an early tower house built for the Livingstones of Little Airds.

Edingham Castle was built as a four-story tower in 1570-1585 by the Morrisons. They were succeeded by the Afflecks in 1660. Later, in the 1700s this became the McVicar-Afflecks. It was roofless by 1872 when it was purchased by John Hutinson. The remains measure 8.6 meters x 7.2 meters.
