What is recorded here
Brighouse Cleughhead may have been a medieval tower house, though no certain fact exists to confirm that role. The name suggests a small stronghold perched where a cleugh meets open ground, but no chamber, doorway or room is certain. What is certain is only that the name still belongs to that place and the land still carries it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brighouse Cleughhead as Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
