What is recorded here

Allanmouth Tower is a ruined 16th-century tower house beside Newmill-on-Teviot in the Scottish Borders. Its earthwork and tower remain marked near the River Teviot, not as a polished monument but as a lost edge of the old borderland. A family may have watched water, road and raid from that height before time took the room back.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Allanmouth Tower as Earthwork (16th Century), Tower House (16th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Allanmouth Tower was built in the 16th century as a tower house, likely by a local landholding family for defensive and residential purposes. It is remembered as a surviving example of early Scottish tower house architecture and as part of the region's historic landscape.
