Jedburgh, Stone Hill

Tower House (medieval)(possible)

What is recorded here

Stone Hill rises above Jedburgh as a possible medieval tower house, its stones still standing where human hands first shaped them. The exact age and owners have faded, but the structure remains clear enough to suggest a family, a guard or a local authority once watched the Borders from that height. Whether it served as a home, a prison or a boundary marker, the hill itself still carries the weight of that unknown purpose.
