What is recorded here

Nisbet House is a 17th-century mansion in the Scottish Borders that grew around an older pele tower, linking medieval defence to later grandeur. Sir Alexander Nisbet extended the building in the 1630s, but Civil War debts forced him to sell it to John Ker in 1652. The house later passed through Ker descendants and became a private residence after restoration, carrying layers of border life from fortress to family home.

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

Nisbet House, a medieval tower house in Scotland, was likely built by the Nisbet family, a prominent Scottish clan, during the late 15th or early 16th century. It is remembered as an example of the defensive and residential architecture of lowland Scotland during the medieval period.
