Kilgarth

Tower House (medieval)(possible)

What is recorded here

Kilgarth is a possible medieval tower house in the Scottish Borders, recorded only as a point near the hundred-metre mark rather than a precise room or gate. That distance leaves the building hidden behind grass, water or time, forcing imagination to finish what measurement stopped. It may have stood as a small defensible home, a watched border post or a forgotten residence for someone who never entered a great story. The uncertainty does not weaken the place; it preserves the chance that Kilgarth still keeps its own shape away from human certainty.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilgarth as Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
