What is recorded here

Blair stands in North Ayrshire as a medieval tower house later read as a country home, anchoring the old Blair lineage that stretched from Ayrshire to Blairgowrie. Its stones may have held stags in crest, doves in memory, and men who argued over precedence until kings stepped in. Whatever rooms remain, they still belong to the field meaning hidden in the name, a plain wide enough for two families to compete and one region to remember.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Blair as Country House (period Unassigned), Tower House (medieval). 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.

Blair Tower, in Scotland, was a medieval tower house, likely built in the late 14th or early 15th century by a local landholding family, though specific builders are not recorded. It is remembered as a typical example of a defensive residence in the Scottish Borders region during a period of frequent conflict.
