What is recorded here

Larriston Tower stands as a medieval tower house in the Scottish Borders, its stones marked by age rather than modern explanation. It may have served as a home, a watch post, or a boundary marker for someone whose name no longer appears beside it. The tower still belongs to the land, even when no person claims it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Larriston Tower as Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
