  • Description

    "...The monument includes the ruins of a 15th century medieval tower house. It is now part of a farm complex and is surrounded on three sides by farm buildings, with the west side looking onto the farm courtyard. The tower is rectangular in shape and measures 10.4m by 9.6m externally with walls which at basement level vary between 2.05m and 2.2m thick....The tower is recorded in 1541 as partially standing after destruction by James IV of Scotland in 1496. It was repaired in the 16th century, but probably finally fell out of use in the 17th century...."
