What is recorded here

Broom House stands in the Scottish Borders as a layered place where a medieval tower house and a 19th-century house share one identity. Unknown human remains belong beside them, giving the site a quiet edge that no visitor should trivialise. The house may have been lived in, feared, forgotten or reused, but it still holds more than stone.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Broom House as House (19th Century), Human Remains (period Unknown), 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.
