Darnick Cottage, Little Peel

Tower House (medieval)(possible)

What is recorded here

Darnick Cottage, Little Peel stands in the Scottish Borders as a possible medieval tower house, its stones waiting to reveal whether they guarded a family or merely marked a boundary. The uncertainty is not a flaw but an invitation: a room may have held a child, a door may have swung shut against rain, and a window may have watched the valley change owners. What is certain is that the place still exists, named and locatable, while the life inside it has thinned into suggestion.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Darnick Cottage, Little Peel as Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
