What is recorded here
Evelaw Tower stands in Scottish Borders as a ruined castle, its stones reduced to a low shadow on the land. What remains is enough to mark where a tower once rose and where people lived under its watch. The border country kept many such places, and Evelaw belongs with them: a house made strong, then lost to time.
Evelaw Tower (remains of) is shown as a castle on the public map of Scottish Borders. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Evelaw Tower was built by the Maxwell family in the 16th century and is remembered as a historic stronghold in the Scottish Borders, reflecting the region's turbulent history of border conflicts.
