Drumlanrig Castle is a large Castle in the Southwest of Scotland , near to Thornhill , in Dumfries And Galloway . It is owned by the Duke Of Buccleuch . Despite its name it is actually a Baroque Country House built between 1684 and 1691 for the 1st Duke Of Queensberry which had no military function. However two earlier, "genuine" castles had stood on the site. In August 2003, a Leonardo Da Vinci painting, '' Madonna Of The Yarnwinder '' was stolen from the castle. As of 2006 its whereabouts remain unknown. EXTERNAL LINKS
