Bardowie, Robinsfield stands in East Dunbartonshire as an 18th-century tower house later shaped into a 20th-century country home. The old tower suggests a time when height and thickness were needed against weather or worse, while the later house suggests a time when comfort and display mattered more. Both parts still belong to the same ground, carrying a life that stretched from danger to ease without breaking.
