What is recorded here

Knockholme Tower stands in Dumfries and Galloway as a medieval tower house, its exact purpose lost but its shape still defined by height and defence. The stone may have housed a family, stored grain or watched a road, yet no clear account survives to confirm which. What remains is a vertical shadow in the landscape, waiting for someone to imagine the life that built it.
