Holmains, an old baronial tower and a range of hills in Dalton parish, Dumfriesshire. The tower, 4 miles S of Lochmaben, was the seat of a branch of the Carruthers family. It does not appear to have been a place of great strength, and now is an utter ruin. The hills, extending N and S, rise to an altitude of 800 feet above sea-level.
