Tibbers, an ancient castle adjacent to the mutual boundary of Penpont and Durisdeer parishes, Dumfriesshire, at the influx of Park Burn to the river Nith, opposite Carronbridge and 2¼ miles NNW of Thornhill. Supposed to have been built by the Romans, and named in honour of Tiberius Cæsar, it was garrisoned by the English in the early part of the Wars of the Succession, and surprised and captured by Sir William Wallace; and it is now represented by only slight vestiges.—Ord. Sur., sh. 9, 1863.
