Drumlanrig Castle is situated on the Queensberry Estate in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The category A listed castle is the Dumfriesshire home of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch and Queensberry. The 'Pink Palace' of Drumlanrig, constructed from distinctive pink sandstone, is an example of late 17th century Renaissance architecture. The first Duke of Queensberry, William Douglas, had the castle built on the site of an ancient Douglas stronghold overlooking Nith Valley. The castle has 120 rooms, 17 turrets and 4 towers. The castle is home to part of the Buccleuch art collection which includes Rembrandt’s 'An Old Woman Reading' and Leonardo Da Vinci's 'Madonna of the Yarnwinder' which was stolen in 2003 and returned in 2007 after being found in Glasgow and many other paintings, tapestries and objects of art.
