What is recorded here

Irvine is a medieval tower house in Dumfries and Galloway, recorded only near enough to place within a kilometre. Its exact chamber may be buried, hidden or lost, but the name still points to a time when height and stone were used to watch, resist or remember.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records 'irvine' as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Irvine Tower House was built in the late medieval period, likely by a local landholding family in Ayrshire, and is remembered as a historic example of a defensive tower house in Scottish architecture.
