beskrivelse:
The fortified tower house was the classic Scottish solution to the problem of building defensible structures in a country where warfare was endemic for centuries. The Scottish Lowland landscape is peppered with many fine examples, to the extent that the 16thC historian, John Major, could write,
- "There are in Scotland for the most part two strongholds to every league, intended both as a defence against a foreign foe, and to meet the first outbreak of a civil war." (History of Greater Britain, 1521).
