Peel Tower is a medieval tower house in the Scottish Borders, built when Border Reivers and invading armies made ordinary life feel like temporary residence. Its narrow form and defensive purpose suggest a household that watched the land, waited for danger and kept its people alive through patience rather than pride. The tower may have served as a home, a refuge or a signal point, and that uncertainty is part of its character.
