Ancrum House is a medieval tower house in the Scottish Borders, likely built in the late 15th or early 16th century by a local Border family, possibly the Maxwells. It is remembered for its historical association with the turbulent history of the Border Reivers and for the survival of 16th- and 17th-century armorial panels, which provide insight into the region's heraldic traditions.
